When you know, you know 🤍

I think it’s about time that I wrote this one. Not that I’ve been struggling at what to write… it’s that I have too much to write, but here we go, I’ll try keep it short & sweet, like me 😉

My love, my husband, my best friend, my soul mate, my biggest annoyance, my personal punchbag, the messiest person I know, my biggest cheerleader, the person I couldn’t live without, my David;

Where to start hey? If anyone doesn’t know our super gay love story, here’s a glimpse… David and I knew each other growing up… I say knew each other, we knew OF each other as David was born in a different bloody decade 😂, but we grew up living round the corner from one another (his sister has grown to be one of my bestest friends), she set us up on a blind date and the rest is history. We had many, I mean many drunken dates & we both instantly knew we were as weird as each other and we were made for one another. David just ‘got me’. He put up with everything I threw at him and he constantly strived to give me everything I ever wanted/needed and that he still does to this day. I knew pretty early on that he was the man I wanted to marry & spend my life with.

So, how has he even coped with this past year?! How do you ever expect your partner to deal with a cancer diagnosis? The guilt you feel putting your loved ones through cancer is something I still find the hardest part.

He has coped/thrived/proved he is the strongest man I know, more than I could have ever imagined he would and I genuinely couldn’t have done any of this without him. I don’t think he will ever know how truly grateful I am to have him in my life and how much I love him. He has got me through days/nights of emotions that no husband should ever have to deal with. He’s witnessed me losing my hair, vomming & shitting at the same time (and that’s just through alcohol 😬😂), held me whilst I’ve wept at the concept of leaving him & Indie, fed me anything I’ve wanted yet forced me to eat what I needed to to get stronger.. and with all of this he’s still managed to stay strong & juggle everything all at once.

If anything, this diagnosis has bought us closer together (not that I wish it on anyone at all!!). No conversation is unsaid and we are both just unapologetically ourselves and not afraid of being so completely in love with each other & enjoying every moment together as our little family.

He is my best friend, my partner in crime and I know that when it’s my time to fly into the stars, our baby girl has the best daddy to help her grow into the stubborn little firecracker (just like her mama!), good luck daddy!! 😂

P.s, he’s just bought me a puppy (little Skye Coram) so I feel obliged to write this, no more soppy crap from now on.

I love you forever & a day Mr Coram ❤️
