Reagan went back to school today after spending the weekend convalescing and as her Mom waved her off I just saw that glimmer of empowerment she has and just thought, she won’t spend the whole day at school, they’ll phone to say she needs to be picked up. Lincoln just gets on with life wearing […]
There was a time not so long ago when I would work at weekends because that is the five-star service I liked to supply but recently as you’ll know if you have read my blog this year that work has changed and is going to change dramatically over the next few months. I have been […]
Jamie asked me that very question today as though she didn’t know the answer? She is the reason I am happy!
Off to Leighton at 7am, to beat the early morning rush hour traffic, I hugged a hungry Reagan and told her I loved her and watched her and Mommy drive away. Her appointment was 8am and they were worried about getting stuck in traffic so when I got a text at 7:20 it made me […]
After finishing work at 5pm I went to the kitchen to make burgers, a request from Reagan as her “last meal” before fasting for her surgery scheduled for tomorrow.

I felt so good tonight from the time I got to the Legion and had my first pint of Guinness for over a year to now sitting here writing this blog. I have been chatting with me mates making them laugh joking around just riding that perfect time when you drink, not sober and not […]
My life is so boring when I read back what I write every day, today I spent the whole day in a training session at work but luckily had a hospital appointment halfway through which broke the monotony. It should be daunting to go and have my armpit scanned for lumps that could kill me […]
With only 22 days before we leave for America both children are getting sooo excited, Reagan wants a suitcase so she can start packing, while Lincoln is trying to get his head around time differences. Both of them are now focused on America Mommy has started finalising stuff like a rental car and a hotel […]
I have become to realise that I find the most joy when I have Jamie alone, to myself and we spend time together. She is the biggest reason that I smile every day, but she is so much to so many other people it seems so selfish to need her company so badly. She is […]
Its a question that keeps on being asked at the moment because Jamie has booked for us all to go to see her mum at Easter which means we all fly to America in 24 days. I am excited to spend my birthday on the same continent as my mother-in-law, something I have always said […]
