A Christmas letter for our Nige.

Created by Paula 8 years ago
Dear Nige,In this letter we want to tell you how proud we all are of you.When you were that little boy who was so quiet,Paula and Ruth would take you shopping,they would ask you what you wanted and it was always "nothing".How you and Carwyn were inseparable. How you and Geraint would go down the farm to ride the horses and Jess would be following you.When you had anything new you would take it apart and put it back together.When Dad saw Clare for the first time and thought she was a boy.We all knew that if we needed work done in our homes you were always there.The driving test you took and failed and then passed, oh what joy.Getting a parking ticket in Dad's car which you payed straight away so he wouldn't find out.Helping me through my cancer. Then getting married to Clare, what a wonderful day with all the family together.Going on your honeymoon and Dad telling me off because I wanted to phone everyday because you were so far away.You made a success of your business and you built up a fantastic repatriation for your workmanship.When you persuaded Dad to take up archery ,which became an hobby for you both Dad still goes but its not the same without you.Every Christmas we would get a kiss, because you weren't sloppy.How you would 'phone Laura,Meg and Emmi to see how many times they had watched The Muppets Christmas Carol.The tiffin oh boy the tiffin that everyone wanted.Best tiffin ever.Along the way there have been family feuds and upsets.but the biggest upset was that Thursday afternoon that you and Clare came to tell us you weren't well although I knew something wasn't right.Shortly afterwards it was confirmed you had cancer.I prayed God would take it from you and give it to me.You were so brave ,we don't know how you handled all the crap you went through .While all the time Clare Dad your brothers and sisters and I could do nothing. When you had the all clear and our Isabel was born,You and Clare were so proud as were we all. It wasn't long before we had the dreaded news that the cancer had returned ,and again were never complained and were so positive. Unfortunately after a long hard battle we lost you.So many hearts were broken that day our lives changed forever. Everyday we talk about you ever minute of every day we miss you.This Christmas the first without you will be so hard to get through but we will for Isabel,Clare and all the kids because you loved Christmas so much. You are our HERO and we love you so much and we always will.You will be forever in our hearts, you are the brightest star in the sky. Merry Christmas our precious boy. All our love,Mam,Dad,Clare Isabel,Paula Eug Laura Emmi, Geraint, Sandy, Stepen Amy Chris Ruth Steve Meg,Carwyn Sharon Sophie Jessica and Jack.xxxx
