I met Julie in 1999, in the red rose pub, in linthorpe village, middlesbrough, and started dating seriously from the 7th of july of that year, it was her birthday on the 13th of july, so the joke was that I had timed that badly, just going out with her a week before her birthday, so I had to get her a pressie just a week after we had started dating.We have been together ever since , up until her untimely death on the 29th of august 2010. We have had a very happy 11 years together, and I wish we could have been together to pensioner age and beyond, We both wanted to grow old together, but sadly it was not to be. I will love her until the day I die and know that she loves me. I hope there's an afterlife and look forward to the day we can be re-united once again.
