My darling Wend. You won't be surprised to know that the tears have already been flowing today, because it is exactly one year ago today that you were taken from us and our lives changed forever. I can hardly believe a year has passed. At times it seems almost like yesterday and I can remember that final day at the hospital so clearly. I thought that after a year that awful memory may have begun to fade, but it hasn't my love. I relive that day and evening over and over.I prayed to God day and night to heal you my darling but He didn't hear my prayers. The only time He listened was when I said to Him that if He had to take you, to do it gently, and He did. He took you quietly and peacefully in your sleep as you lay in my arms and Matt and Sarah held your hands. I haven't spoken to God from that day to this. We all miss you so much darling. You had such an effect on so many peoples' lives. You would be far too modest to admit that my darling Wend, but it is true. So many people still miss you dreadfully and still grieve for you. But I know you would not want us to grieve forever. You would want us to be happy and enjoy what is left of our lives. I promise to try and do that my darling. I shall always try to make you as proud of me as I always was of you. Just forgive me if I slip occasionally. I know you will be there beside me to help me up again. God Bless you my darling girl. I love you so much. Your husband, Ian XXXX
