Annette and Duncan in Take a Break!
Only he was batting bowel cancer.
Father and son kept in contact for the next six months. What Annette didn’t know was that son Stuart had asked his dad if he’d ever consider getting back with his mum.
However, although Duncan and Annette chatted on the phone, exited and messaged regularly, Annette was seeing a new man. In hindsight she now sees she was speaking to Duncan more than anyone and if she was honest, she loved hearing from him. But they never met.
Then in September 2016 Duncan was rushed to hospital wish internal bleeding. Doctors thought he could have just hours to live.
From then on their love was back on. After 28 years apart they finally met up for the first time. Annette felt the same tummy tingles she felt when they first met 38 years ago. In November Duncan asked her to marry him and they are set to remarry.
Of course son Stuart will be his dad’s best man.
Annette and Duncan’s feel-good story appears over two pages of Take a Break magazine and will shortly be appearing in another top women’s weekly!
