I walked through the doors of the Queen Elizabeth Military Hospital and behind the reception desk was a crazy soldier jumping up and down. By the time I reached the desk the soldier was calm and polite and his eyes were focused on mine.
In less than 10 minutes I, my best friend and my mum had heard his life history. All I wanted was to find my brother who had been admitted the day before!
My mum and friend remarked that there was a tangible feeling in the air. I didn't feel a thing until Pete walked around the desk, then I realised that Pete was my dad, grandfather and brother all rolled into one!!! Alarm bells rang but it still didn't stop me!
20 years later Pete and I were married!
I have been incredibly blessed!!
I will always remember xxx
