The realisation that the love of your life has gone is devastating especially at a relatively young age when you had plans of growing old together and travelling the world.
When Paul was seriously ill towards the end of his life, he asked me what I would do when he was gone. I told Paul that I would travel to all the places that we had planned on visiting. I explained that I would get a life size cardboard cut-out of him, pack him in my suitcase and take him out and take photos of us both at all the tourist destinations. He didn’t believe me, but I promised him I would.
I was fortunate to keep that promise to Paul when in May 2017, I booked a 9 week tour around the USA & Europe for August to October 2017. I originally booked tickets to see Paul McCartney in concert in New York and it snowballed from there.
After visiting 7 countries and travelling on the #tripofalifetime with the #mosttravelledcardboardcutout, I wrote the story about my journey #travellingwithcardboardpaul – keeping promises whilst travelling around the world.
