Three weeks
Three weeks ago today my wife was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, when she left the house it was the last time I saw her alive. She has left me with the sole care of our three children, a task for which I feel unprepared, but there is no one else for the … Continue reading Three weeks
Journey well
Hello again, Sorry to bother you but there's some things I want to say. Firstly, and possibly least important, I miss you more than I even thought I would, and I knew I would miss you a lot. Seeing you in pain and going through the fear barrier that protects us from awareness of imminent … Continue reading Journey well

Usually, for me, … Continue reading Yesterday
Moving right along
I’m not sure what I make of it, honestly. On the face of it, appearances being deceptive, it looks like one thing. It is certainly something else. I left the farm last week.

Would you believe it?
Let me tell you about my new girlfriend. I’m not sure where to start really because she has so many amazing qualities, so I’ll begin with how she looks.
