A couple of weeks ago I wrote asking if any of you would like to share your stories of how you met the love of your life. Perhaps it was a love that was meant to be and has survived the test of time, or maybe it was a first love, a forbidden love or … More What’s your story… Once upon a time in Paris.
We all have moments in our lives where we think, ‘Wow, well done me.’ My earliest one such moment was winning a paint box when I was about eight or nine years old. It was a carved wooden box with all types of wooden paint brushes inside and every shade, of every colour paint imaginable. … More My greatest achievement
It’s close to four years since Daniel last played football, a game he loved dearly, and almost three years since he passed away. In our memories he will forever be thirteen, but as we look at those who were his good friends we can imagine the boy he might be and what he would be … More The Extra Man.
I’ve an idea and I’m wondering if any of you would be interested? It was triggered by a conversation I had with a friend of mine online, and during it she mentioned meeting her now husband in the US in Gaelic Park. She spoke of the early moments of their encounter and their subsequent marriage. They’ve … More Have you a story to tell?
Some of you may remember my writing previously about young Ben? He was a beautiful, handsome, lively six year old who became ill and passed away within the space of two weeks. Because of the bravery and selflessness of Ben’s parents who agreed to donate his organs, the lives of other children were saved. While … More A shout out and a favour to ask.
Yesterday I spent time clearing out the mountain of books that were littering a spare room. I’d a new bookcase in my bedroom, sitting empty, just waiting. I began by creating two piles. One for those I’d either never read (my daughters or husbands books) or had read but disliked, and one for those I’d … More What books are on your bookshelves?
It’s been a strange week. The reality of three children leaving home at the same time is dawning. It’s not all bad I can assure you. I’m already beginning to take more than a little delight in the quietness, lack of laundry, the joy of no ‘stuff’ strewn about the hall and the amount of … More Can you describe parenting in one word?
Unless we have experienced it none of us can come close to imagining what it must be like to lose a child, or to watch them suffer. There are days when I remember with a smile, young Daniel (13) my friend’s son, and some of his more mischievous moments, then there are other days, when … More September, childhood cancer awareness month.
I think it’s safe to say that the majority of us have our own special place on Earth, a place where we can go, either daily or once in a while, which washes over us a sense of peace we can find nowhere else. I returned yesterday from my such a place. It’s a small … More Welcome to Paradise.
I know people who are very organised, you might even be one yourself? You know the type, the ones who buy next years school uniforms the day their children get Summer holidays and Christmas presents as early as September. They have school books covered and lunch boxes purchased weeks before returning to school. I number … More Stop the clock.
