Let the tears flow…

Tonight can be the hardest of the year, the night when you think about the next year without your loved one. Tonight already my mum has shed some tears, and as I said to her…let the tears roll, it is your heart letting the pain release from your body. Don’t hold it in, if you […]

Phew, a hectic 48 Hours

Boxing Day Memories

Mum is over with me at the moment, and today is tough for her. It would have been her wedding anniversary, her 47th if Dad was still alive. She remembers the day so vividly and I have encouraged her to talk as much as she wants to about the day. Memories are so important, and […]

My greatest Christmas ever

I was trying to think of my favourite Christmas to share with you. Well, it was while we were both young and at the start of seeing each other. Both of us wanted to spend Christmas Day with each other but family commitments meant that we couldn’t….Then I got a call in the morning and he said […]
