365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 43

August 25, 2015

it’s been a really hectic and enjoyable summer for me, I’ve met lots of people at the various sporting events (mostly cricket) I’ve been to.  When you spend what can be hours sitting next to someone you often swap stories. I’ve mentioned before but many times I’ve had that – how many kids do you … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 43

January 19, 2015

I’ve written before about how those of us who’ve lost a child need to let our other children fly, let them be ‘normal’ if there is any such thing.  With Alexandra living in Paris to a very large degree I don’t have sight of what she gets up to on a daily basis, but I … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 33

I had some lovely news today, Luke’s closest friend Oli sent me a message on Facebook showing a photo of the twins his partner is expecting.  He’s going to be a Dad and to twins!  That’s amazing news, Luke would have been absolutely thrilled! Such news brings a tinge of sadness as well as joy … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 31

December 30, 2014

I’m going to write, carefully, about a subject that’s been on my mind for a while – Dating Websites!  And the part they played in helping me keep my sanity after Luke died, but also to warn of some of the dangers. Finding myself on my own in early 2011 I found out all about … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 29

December 11, 2014

Having started to recount what was a very difficult time in all of our lives I feel the need to keep going; that time’s been on my mind a lot today and all sorts of things have come back into my head.  I have smiled and laughed a lot today, I do every day really, … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 25

December 10, 2014

It’s been a few days since I’ve written here, things have been a bit hectic.  That’s how I like to keep my life these days; largely because I enjoy all the things that I find myself doing, but also because I don’t do sitting around doing nothing so well.  This evening I’m not long back … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 24

November 9, 2014

Jumping all over the place here I know, but my mind goes back to the first anniversaries after Luke died. I’d lost my Dad and my Nana before Luke and knew that the first year would always be the hardest but there is a natural order to losing a parent or a grandparent, never for … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 18

October 21, 2014

A few days away from my blog after a busy weekend and a crazily long day at work – where to go next?  I think maybe it’s time for me to extol the virtues of the much maligned phenomenon that is Social Media.  I think I’ve mentioned before that Luke very generously allowed me to … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 14
