21 Years
I honestly did not know I would survive 21 years without you. It speaks volumes for the human spirit, for I did not think I would see morning that night.

42 you said?
Dear friends, family and other interesting creatures, Some bonds cannot be broken. Not even in death. It may be 17 years since Tim died, but I had a very real sense of him yesterday.

Check your mate
Dear friends and other interesting creatures, Random thoughts: * My anxiety is playing up at the moment and I am not loving it. My default emotion is anxiety so it does not require an event to plague me. It is not fanTy. Forgive me if I am not as chatty as usual. Although … I’ve… Continue reading
