We married on 21st February 1981, when I not only took on a Widower, but his two young Daughters.
Had our ups and downs. Life was always larger than life with him. We worked very hard and played harder. We looked forward to our retirement in 2006, when we achieved our dream – a small bungalow with a lovely big garden to tend.
Alex could be a bully, was stubborn, could do anything, was nearly always infuriatingly right and I loved him beyond any feelings one could measure.
He died, aged 67, of cancer, in pain, despite morphine, in the early morning of 2nd August 2009, at home, in bed with me. I was doing ok until I went into the garage and saw all his tools and work in progress .

I’m so sorry for your loss….I’m moved by your tribute of him, and your sharing of the circumstances…It happened like this with my father too; he had works in progress too, and since it was too cold in the garage, my mother let him work in the house, filling it with sawdust…Now I understand your absence, words. I feel for you and miss you. I’m sending hugs and strength.
