Life with and without my Hairy Biker
By Lili Myers, Si King | Publisher: Ebury Publishing
About the book
A beautiful, uplifting celebration of the life of The Hairy Bikers’ Dave Myers from his widow.
Dave Myers lived his life with joy. He always told his wife Liliana, that if you were going to do something, you should do it full-heartedly. With that in mind, Liliana gives her whole self to writing a celebration of his life and their love, full of the warmth and joy that Dave and the Hairy Bikers brought to their many fans throughout their career spanning two decades. Liliana invites readers into her world, sharing her personal story and professional insights as a grief counsellor, offering a unique perspective on the complexities of grief and the healing process.
Liliana takes us on an intimate journey through her life with her beloved husband, recounting their serendipitous meeting in 2005, the blossoming of their relationship as pen pals and the adventures that followed as they built a life together in the UK. Interspersed with vivid memories – like the plaid shirt that carries a special significance, the shoes that tell a story of their travels, and the lost wedding ring that symbolises their unbreakable bond – Liliana paints a rich tapestry of their life together. She describes the joy of their wedding day, the camaraderie of friendships, and the challenges they faced during Dave's cancer diagnosis, their journey through treatment and the final days they spent together.
As well as a reflection on Liliana’s profound grief, this deeply moving memoir is a testament to the enduring power of love and, amidst the sorrow, Liliana finds ways to celebrate Dave’s life, honour his legacy and the impact he had on a nation that adored him. Looking to the future, Liliana offers readers a beacon of hope, sharing her coping strategies and the ways she keeps Dave's memory alive. Dave and Me is a deeply heartfelt tribute to a remarkable man and story of love that transcends loss.
