REALITY.

Flight, walk, hitch-hiking,

Running. Walking.

Any ideas. Breathing…

Ancestry, heraldry, parents, grandparents, booze, recovery.

Marriage. Divorce. Goodness.

Madness, NVQ 3 in Care. Validity.

Art, computer skill in progress.

Groundswell, Community Reporter, unreal,

Please do pinch me? Ouch. To be continued.

 

What is the best decision have I ever made?

Job in the UK. Marriage, divorce.

27 years in care. Ups and downs.

 

Understanding who am I?

Not a clue, getting there.

There is always light at the end of many tunnels.

There is always hope even if the road is blocked.
