Death brings a chance to think about life

Oscar dying performance!

I am a huge cat lover, they give me a sense of comfort - they give their love unconditionally and always there when you need a cuddle. Looking after them has given me a purpose on those days when I could not find a reason to live. So I smiled when I saw this article […]

Thoughts on the loss of a soldiers life…

I wish, as a world that we could find peace, find a way of living together rather than dying together. Death is always painful but for me, death through war seems wrong.
