Today my husband is 70!! He says he never thought he would make it past nineteen!
I am so glad he did, we all would be a lot poorer without his presence.
Apart from being an amazing artist, an extraordinary drummer and a brilliant cook,this is the man who took me on board, with six children and more baggage than Piccadilly's lost luggage dept.!
When we first met, and were "going out" as they say, he very often asked me "out for a drink", and of course I don't drink! He wanted to know why? and at that point I didn't think it was any of his business!
But as we got more involved, and it was clear that something was happening between us, I thought I had better tell him all about me! I thought if he was going to get involved with me he should have all the chances in the world to walk away.
So one night I sat him down, and gave him the lot, all the drinking , all the chemicals, all the shit! I think I probably laid it on a bit so he had absolutely no illusions!
It took a good three hours, and his face steadily became more and more serious.
When I had finished, waiting for a "walk out" he just said:
" Thank fuck for that ! I thought you were going to tell me you are gay!
That is the man who I have been married to for 28 years, and who is still making me laugh!
Happy Birthday Gez XXXXX
