I’m sitting here contemplating why I started to write this nearly a year ago – I’d say that it’s almost become a way of keeping memories of Luke fresh, but also a way that I may be able to help others who’re facing adversity of any kind really. It never ceases to amaze me just … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 44
It’s 11;30 pm on a Saturday evening and I feel a burning need to write here, it’s been on my mind for a while but I’ve been too busy gallivanting, too busy living life, too busy being happy. I want to recount something that happened on social media a few weeks ago, I use the … More 365 Happy Days – a smile a day – Part 40
Time to sit down and contemplate some of the things that keep me sane again; I’ve spoken about 2 of the sports I have a passion for – rugby union and cricket but not the 3rd. This Essex girl is a huge rugby league fan! All a bit odd that really when you consider that … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 17
One of the things I’m still not used to is how to answer the question – ‘how many kids do you have?’ – always a bit of a quandary that one.

Having had a crazy, busy start to the week I’ve been away from my shiny new MacBook for a few days; I think I need to cast my mind back to 2010 and the real start of my ‘new normal’. I think if a poll was taken of dates people break up Christmas would feature … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 9
So, tomorrow is 2nd October, the day my blue eyed, blonde boy was born; he’d have been 27! Goodness that makes me old! Whereas Luke will be Forever 21 – I’m sure there’s a name for a shop there! It’s funny one thing I never do is imagine how he’d be now, what his life … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 7
Time to start writing again after a great weekend spent watching sport and spending time with good friends. A month after starting my new job I had to get through Luke’s birthday; the first birthday he wouldn’t be here for. It’s always a funny one really, and we’ve decided without really saying so, as a … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 6
I mentioned the people who walked away from me rather than say anything about Luke last time; but didn’t mention the many wonderful people who came to our door, with hugs, flowers and sometimes tears. I will always be grateful to the friends who showed such care. A bouquet of flowers arrived one day from … More 365 Happy Days – A Smile a Day – Part 5
