Christmas will be very different this year for Paul Shepherd – a man who firmly believes that everything that’s intrinsically good about him is because of the influence of the woman he loved. This year, Paul will be gathered up by members of his loving family, and they’ll make new Christmas memories together.
But, for the first time in three decades, he’ll be doing so without his wife and soulmate Brenda, who lost her battle with cancer just five months ago. It will be the fond memories of fun Christmases gone by, in which he and Brenda would pull on their festive jumpers to celebrate the anniversary of the day they met, that will help a heartbroken Paul to keep smiling.
Paul and Brenda’s love story began on December 20, 1991, when they got chatting at an office Christmas party – which is why the festive period was always so close to the hearts of the inseparable couple.
