By My Side

The opening lyrics from the song “Love Story” are:

  Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love he brings to me
Where do I start?

Well, where do I start?

I did so many things with William. A lot of course involved sport, but then I could write a separate book on that subject alone. Especially football where either playing, watching or discussing it with me, his ability for all three was just outstanding.

His love of life just shone through and his determination was always there in whatever he did plus of course his courage which everyone saw and was amazed by.

William had a wonderful sense of humour and his enthusiasm always showed through.

My memories of him will be with me for ever, because there are so many.
I know he is always by my side, wherever I am, and our discussions take place every day.
William will never leave me.

Gerald (William’s Uncle)
