Stu was my first love and my best friend, I love him with all my heart, more and more every day. My world fell apart on the 22nd of September 2006, I never thought I would be happy again, but I am.

Stu had always said I should get a better job and I said I wanted to be a teacher but I didn't have a maths qualification, he urged me to go to college to get maths and told me he would help me with it, so I did!! Sadly, he died only a few weeks into my course and never got the chance to help me. I missed half the course as I couldnt concentrate in class, but I pulled myself together and passed the exam with flying colours, I swear Stu must have helped me in some way!!

It took a few attempts but I have finally got into a one year course to train me as a teacher, so with some luck I'll be teaching in a years time, and it's all thanks to Stu!

Since Stu's passing I have met Mike who is amazing, he is my rock and my best friend. I had always wished that Mike had met Stu as they would have got on great, they are so similar but also completely different, as it should be. Only recently Mike told me he had briefly met Stu at an engagement party in Dundee that we had went to, this made me so happy, I think thats amazing.

Im still so sad for what I have lost, but I feel so blessed that I am lucky enough to have been loved by Stu, and now Mike. I'll miss Stu more and more every day until we meet again.

Love u millions Stu xxxx
