This is just an introduction to a possible new story, if I choose to continue it the chapters will obviously get longer.
His favourite film was Jurassic World. His favourite desert was chocolate berry torte. He smelt of Paco Rabanne One Million. He enjoyed nothing more than being home in time to do the bedtime routine with our girls. He cried like a baby at our wedding and again when each of our girls were born. He was a family man. We were trying for our third child before he was diagnosed, hoping for a boy this time so he could have his mini-me. He saved my life more than once.
He was a Capricorn. He was my Nicky Tilsley, the love of my life and the father of my children.
These are the pieces of a life, and a love, that you won't find written in any obituary.
