• To India with all my love

    October 20, 2025 in England ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    Today marks the start of a journey I have wanted to do for a very long time.
    It is a journey in memory of my most wonderful gorgeous caring partner Munir ,who was Indian.He adored me too and made me very happy. We met over the post office counter in Radcliffe, I had gone in for my child benefit and there he was...time stood still...for both of us..I don't know how long it was before I realised hed not given me the money Munir also,had not realised he'd not done so
    He repeatedly asked me to spend time with him.and I declined for 15months ..Andrew and I had separated but I was thinking of the impact on Matthew.
    Eventually one day whilst I was hoovering, Munir turned up on my door with a rose 🌹. I was so flustered I let him in, but carried on hoovering,initially!
    He became extremely special to me . Munir asked me to go to India with him , I think to meet his family.I would have loved a lifetime with him.
    However, Matthew was only 5yrs old and I would not leave him,so that trip never happened....until now ..its ok now, Matthew is 37yrs old ...I think he'll cope!😂.
    We had happy times but ultimately at only 30yrs old Munir died in a car crash.
    .The air ambulance were involved in his rescue..It is in his memory that I volunteer with the North West Air Ambulance Charity.
    Tomorrow,21st Oct I will arrive on his birthday and go straight to the Taj Mahal.
    Today, a trip on my beloved Emirates A380 which is the airline, but not the aircraft Munir always flew back to India on.
    Although he flew in to Mumbai, I will fly into Dehli and on my return I shall fly from Mumbai
    A poignant trip !
