P.S. This is Madeira. I know this doesn’t count as evidence but I just want to state how much I love my husband. He is kind and gentle, funny and intelligent, loving and warm. He’s a wonderful cook and passionate lover of history. He is handsome and loving and takes wonderful care of me and our home. He’s a superbly talented artist, a wonderful man and a truly incredible husband. We have endured many months of separation due to the complexities of immigration law, I know that this is down to the hard evidence, phone records and bank statements, flight confirmations and so on, but I had to write this, I couldn’t bear to leave you with nothing but the cold clinical details of my warm, living marriage.
