And just like that, my son is officially a teenager. Boy, those thirteen years sure flew by quickly! Whilst I’d toyed with the idea of waking J extra early this morning to allow for time to open all his gifts, I decided against doing so as I figured he’d be too tired and would not only appreciate the extra minutes in bed but would most likely rather open his gifts with his family later this afternoon. J came downstairs at the usual time this morning, he then opened a few bits and pieces whilst eating breakfast with his sister then …
Birthdays
My husband turned the grand age of thirty-nine today, this leaves him with just a year to go before the big 4-0… Though he wasn’t all that bothered about celebrating, he was still spoilt rotten by his family with gifts and cards before heading out to enjoy a birthday stroll, some birthday beers, burgers, and of course cake from which to blow out his candles.

The weather was bizarrely beautiful, the drinks were flowing, the food …
It was my birthday yesterday and whilst I’d usually celebrate with a take-away and a few drinks, I didn’t feel all that much like celebrating this year. Though I appreciated the cards, presents, and many messages which I was spoilt with throughout the day, I just didn’t feel in the birthday mood – I didn’t feel right celebrating this year. I’m hazarding a guess that my emotions were to be expected considering all that’s happened over the past eighteen months or so. I suspect most people would feel the same on the first birthday following their Fathers demease. Thankfully, I …
