Dear Pete.
2 years ago today you asked me to be your girlfriend and with no hesitation I agreed. I still didn’t understand why you wanted to be with me or why I knew you were the guy I wanted to spend my life with. But there was always something about you, i don’t know what but something told me I’d never look back with you.
I remember the night you text me asking about becoming ‘us’. Obviously I screen shot the hell out of it and sent it to Jess etc etc. I was so bloody excited. As you fully knew I never expected to meet anyone after my previous relationship, I was so broken from it yet you took the time to piece me back together again. You didn’t care if you had to tell me 50 times a day why you wanted to be with me or why I deserved love, you just did whatever you could to halt my insecurities. I’ve never known love like that before and I don’t expect I ever will again.
From our first message, to first date, to becoming official, to being inseparable. Things progressed quickly but it never felt wrong. In fact it had never felt more right.
I cant put into words how lucky I was to have you for the time that I did.
A year ago today, you had just got your licence back, we went to pick up the girls from school and took them to Poole park for treats 💖 we were the bloody best uncle and aunty for treats! Once we dropped them home we went for dinner at the curlew for our anniversary. It was so lovely. Perfect for us.
Afterwards we took our usual drive down to sandbanks and all around, music blaring, just enjoying each others company.
I miss those drives so much. They became one of our things, special time spending quality time together.
This year is different now Pete. Your not here to celebrate our anniversary with me today. It hurts saying that and my heart feels so heavy. But I know your beaming down love on me, i know you’ll be up there watching over me and making sure I cope okay. I’m so lucky that I have Jess supporting me so much right now. You would be taking the piss that we’re far to soppy 😷😷 but it’s your fault! We were cold as ice before this you wally! You broke us 🙈
So keep shining bright down on me and Jess and everyone else please, keep watching over us and keep us safe when we don’t feel it.
I miss you more and more and more than words can say, I love you ever more than that. I always will do Peter Humphrey. Don’t you forget it wherever you are xxx
