How Can She Be Gone?

When the worst happened, David Gammie knew he had to carry on for his daughter.

How Can She Be Gone?

As children, we’re often told the same fairytale story – a couple meet, they fall in love and live happily ever after. and when I met my wife Louisa, even after just a few words at a crowded party in 2008, I knew I’d found The one.

She was beautiful, with deep, brown eyes and a soft smile. I was almost too nervous to introduce myself, but as as soon we started talking, I relaxed. She was still way out of my league, but I took my chances and asked for her number anyway. Amazingly, she said yes!

A week later, we went on our first date to a cocktail bar in London. We hardly knew each other, but the conversation flowed easily, from music to books to careers. 

I confessed that I hated my job in finance, and secretly dreamed of writing my own screenplay some day. Most people would have rolled their eyes, but Lou agreed I should do it. That night, we shared our first kiss, and by the end of that year, she’d moved into my flat.

Married bliss

In September 2010, I proposed on a mountainside in Turkey. Six months later, we married in a big, white wedding in Dorset. Our honeymoon was an idyllic fortnight spent relaxing and snorkelling in the Maldives. Halfway through, Lou organised a candlelit dinner on the beach to celebrate my 31st birthday. There, she presented me with a book on screenplay writing – tucked inside, was a receipt for a private tutorial with the author.

It was the kind of present that perfectly summed up Lou: considered, kind, thoughtful. I never used the word soulmates before, but she was mine.

So in May 2012 when Lou showed me a positive pregnancy test, my heart somersaulted in my chest. It was the best thing to happen.
