Dear Dad It’s Fathers Day today and for the first time in a long time, I’m not at home to see you. I don’t even think I remembered a card.  How rubbish is that? I know, I know, you’ll tell me that you don’t need a card and that you don’t want anything for Fathers [...]

You make life what it should be: utterly engaging and totally worthwhile. ******************* Dear Hot Geek I [...]

I wrote a little while ago about my brother who died in 2007.  You can read it here if you didn’t catch it. It occurs to me that I have only one photo of my brother when he was drug free. And it’s my favourite too. Here he is.  Holding my daughter when she was [...]
