A Weekend Away
Well despite doctors orders to stay resting, diastolic is still in higher 90’s, I went away for the weekend with my good friend Natalie, she who walks with me for charity as Ruger’s Ramblers.

Losing parents and you become orphaned and a spouse a widow or widower but the thought of your child going before you is so wrong it… Continue reading The Black Side of Life

On Wednesday 5th October my son went missing. We sadly found him on Friday 7th, he had decided to take his own life. At this moment I time I am in the numb/angry/hollow/questioning stage. I have found this so difficult to come to terms with. I wasn’t going to post anything here but then this… Continue reading News
