About me

I have a daughter of 23 & son who is 20. Both still live at home! I was pregnant before I had my daughter but it's a long long time ago & it's not something I want to dwell over as even now, it's still painful. (So sorry you couldn't stay with us baby)

I used to be an auxilliary nurse many years ago & one of the things that struck me was the horrible way cancer takes hold of people so you can imagine my shock when I had to have chemotherapy myself in 2006. Luckily the cancer was in the early stages & I'm still here & clear but so many others don't make it & it is very upsetting, especially when it's a young person. Life can be so cruel.

Also, in 2007 I had to have a hip resurfacing operation so I'm hoping that's it now - no more problems!!

I DID attempt to do my charity trek in October '08 (in aid of Christie hospital) to the base camp of Mount Everest but sadly, I fell & sprained my ankle & knee & couldn't carry on which was a bitter disappointment after all my preparations. Am now trying to decide if I should have another go next year (if my creaking joints let me!!) My 1st 3 photos
are from my trip. Didn't get time to take many but more can be viewed on my MySpace account.

♥ ALL THE SMALL THINGS ♥

Sometimes in life we seem to slow our pace
And in our hearts we’re left with an empty space
We only think of the loneliness and pain
Then someone says there’s no need to explain

They do not have to be your very best friend
But maybe you’ll find, on them you may depend
Even if you don’t say what you’re thinking inside
Just talking is better than trying to hide

I’ve found people that put a smile on my face
And let me tell you, they’ve filled that empty space
So to the people I am talking about
I want you to know the small things really do count

When I talk to you I feel everything’s okay
To you I owe a debt I could never repay
So when you forget about the lives you touch
Think of me, for it is you I owe so much

I hate to think, without you, what my life would be
So when you have trouble know you may lean on me
And I guess all I’m really trying to say
Is thanks, for it’s the small things that have made my day
