We met 20 years ago when you car jacked me outside the pub in Risca! I thought who's this nutter and wheres the person I'm actually collecting?! Pretty sure that by the end of that hour of being talked at by merry you that you'd managed to secure a place in my heart but fate had a different idea and we lost touch. I remember the day you walked into the bank and the surprised look on your face to see me behind the glass! We swapped numbers and arranged to meet up and the rest as they say is history. 

Our first date was gatecrashed by Ray and Rob who were equally as surprised to see you as you them! Our official get together date was 1st April 2013, nice easy date for you to remember with that terrible memory haha!!

We've had some amazing nights out with our friends, great weddings (nearly our own), brilliant BBQs and rememberable holidays and even though we had that terrible loss of our first baby we were soooooo blessed to get our rainbow baby, Rosie changed our lives (and sleep patterns) forever!! 

She is the biggest Daddys girl and will still tell anyone who'll listen that she loves you more than me and I don't mind because why wouldn't she, you were an amazing Gaga who I always called Fun Dad because you were, you filled her mind with questions about nature and history. Shes got your outdoor nature and we'll talk about you every day. 

I'll miss calling you "husband" and watching you smirk, sitting in front of the telly watching the crime dramas together and working out what we can squash in before your 9pm bedtime, I'll miss my spot, the only place I could fall asleep without even trying! Also it turns out that by constantly reminding you about things helped me to remember as it turns out my memory isn't great either. You've left me with a house full of random beers that I'll be sharing with your friends and I know you'd want that (and also they smell gross so I'm not going to drink them)

My heart is breaking that you were stolen from us but we'll never forget you, you were my person, Rosies Gaga but most of all we were a family, its smaller now but filled with love and memories. 

We love you... beep beep XxXx
