Hi Ben, first chance i`ve had to have a chat with you., cor blimey have I been busy, didn`t know whether I was coming or going. Sorting all the presents out, then i came up with a brainwave for my 3 g/children. while i was looking at Ebay i saw some lovely shamballa bracelets & i thought to myself i reckon i could make one of them. Well this year i`ve had to cut back a bit, cus i`m not working now, oh i forgot you probably dont know that but i gave up my job in march, because they wasnt treating me very good & i was going through alot of worry at the time, so i thought i dont want to work there anymore & gave notice. Any way where did i get to, forgot what i was gonna say now, just check what i wrote so far! Oh yea the bracelets so i bought all the stuff i needed for the bracelets off Ebay, talk about saving money Ben, i spent quite alot, probably would have been cheaper to buy them ready made, but never mind it was worth it. Finally made the bracelets after watching the video instructions about 100 times. Turned out really nice! Had a nice day with the kids, Salvatore dressed up as Father Christmas but nobody wanted him to go to their house to see the kids, shame really. Went to visit Mum & Dad today, their stone has now been done with a new photo. i`m sure they would approve of it. Just wanted to say Ben , have been thinking of you aswell today, along with Mum & Dad & i`m lighting my candle for the 3 of you. got to go now cause i`m absolutely shattered & need to unwind so Goodnight God Bless Ben, will chat again soon xxxx
Well Ben this is my 2nd attempt tonight of writing on you wall, don`t know what happened to my first one! shame cus i wrote a whole page, never mind. Just like to say I`m thinking of you and your family on your Special Birthday on which you would have been you 21st! Originally when someone reach 21yrs they would be given the key to front door & what did that mean! it meant eing able to stay out late & have a good time. I dare say you had already been given the key a few years back & had many a good night out. lol. I`ve lit the candle i keep just for you, poured half a glass of wine, notice i said half a glass, anymore & i will get sozzled lol & lit a fag. I`ve actually managed to take a picture which was a bit difficult to do with wine in one hand, ipad in the other I needed another hand to pressed the button, ummm i thought or rather said to myself got to be a way to do it, & guess what I did. Now everyone gonna wonder how! here goes I held ipad put my special ipad pen in my mouth, ha wait for it! lol I then picked up wine held it in front & manuvered pen to ipad screen & hey presto! i done it! pat on the back for me I think! Anyway I thought i might be able to put photo on here but I cant seem to find that little picture of a camera on here, so I`ll post on my FB, cant let it go to waste can we! being serious now Ben! I raise my glass of wine to you on your Special Day & say Cheers Ben
I`m sure Mum & Dad (your Great Nan & Gramp will help you celebrate up there! lots of love G/Auntie Mon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
One year on and it still feels like you are living just up the road. It’s strange to think that a year has passed and although lives have changed, the world goes on day after day. Cars still drive by my place just like they did a year ago, shops still open in the mornings and close at night, the pubs where you used to drink still serve the same drinks you liked… but you’re no longer here or part of it. This cruel world just keeps turning. But the important things in life are not what we have but how and what we feel. The world may be material and full of sad things but life is made up of a sequence of random moments which create memories. You will alway be part of those memories and the lives of everyone who knew you.
