He took up painting again, his beautiful pictures are still around the house and other people have them too, which is lovely to know. He walked into the house on our first visit and said 'this is the one'. After awhile we bought the house where I still live. We played at house for a time and I developed my career, being promoted, doing well, enjoying my job.

Meeting him turned out to be the making of me. I suspect he enjoyed the challenge and hopefully saw the potential. At that time I was rather a loose cannon. I never really understood why he picked me, or what he saw in me.

He was many years older than me, charismatic, well read, knew lots about every subject under the sun. I was going out every night when I met him, drinking, clubbing, not really focussed on my career or personal goals. He proposed after ten days and we married four months later. I married Fred when I was twenty four. How self-indulgent to write about myself - it something I never do, but I guess there are times when it useful to reflect on how far we have come over the years and how much we have others to thank for that journey.

We were married for fifteen years before he died, but I still think about him regularly and have much to thank him for. Today is my wedding anniversary.
