My darling darling Heather, Its our wonderful sons birthday , its so good to be here to share it with him, the last time was with you in Bali ,12 years ago, how I wish I could turn the clock back and mend our once amazing family, as I write this 46 years ago we were in the Barrett delivery room and you were about to give me the second most prized gift of my life, words will never describe my happiness and gratitude. Its raining here and I've been up most of the early hours with James as he is suffering from back pain , our granddaughters are at school and V is at work now so we are spending the day together, its special and I shall treasure the day as I'm not sure when we will share this again , we are about to go to the Australian restaurant " Boomerang" for a full English breakfast, remember, we used to walk there when we stayed in River gate, and then to visit record stores before going back to the new house to check on progress. Tomorrow will be Ed,s 15th birthday, how I miss seeing him, he,s such a tall handsome boy now, I hope he has a great day, I love you and miss you and can't wait to be back with you. My love for ever and ever as always. Your Alan xxxx
