The Breakthrough

A couple of months ago I asked the Neurologist looking after Paul in hospital if his seizure could possibly be the electrical wires in his brain preparing for a major breakthrough. I was prepared for her to laugh at me to which I would have responded by lightly jabbing her in the nose… through theContinue reading “The Breakthrough”

In One Ear

People are so judgy, aren’t they? I do my best to keep my opinions to myself on social media- I don’t have the energy or interest in engaging in a war of words with someone whom I don’t know. I am an avid reader of the comment section as I find it most amusing toContinue reading “In One Ear”

Whilst her words may be confronting to many, I’m sure there are many who would have thoughtContinue reading “Touch the Sky”
