It is difficult for me write, so I must start in this manner. In all my life I have never dedicated my words to you, I honestly have never told you how much you mean to me. I don’t know why, but it has just been so difficult for me to express my emotions for you, dad. Yet, the person I talk to ev...

  Writing a tribute to my Grandmother is, at the moment, very appropriate. She died last month, and that has helped our family think about what she meant to us and all the adventures she had over the course of her long life. She suffered from Dementia in her later years, and indeed at times I thin...

  2007 is a long time ago – 10 entire years. 10 years of laughing and crying and being silly together. Months of queueing up for lunch, of the chocolate floorboards with the puff of icing sugar on top, of chips with cheese and plain pasta because I was too fussy to eat anything else. I remember ...

 You make my life rich. You make my mornings bright and my evenings warm. I light up when I see your message on the computer. I sulk when the time difference means you have to say goodnight when I feel like the day is just starting. I sulk when the time difference means I have to say goodnight when...

I am always looking for inspiration in different places and from different sources. I have a great group of friends and family that share an uncanny ability to inspire me. However I still value being motivated by those less fortunate than myself. I am especially inspired by those who are clearly wor...

We knew she was the one the first moment we spotted her in the large group of puppies in the play area. “I want that one,” I said as I pointed at her. I was about 10 years old and I loved the dog I already had but I felt a special connection to this adorable one with the distinct brown coloring ...

My mum has had such an impact on my life. She raised four kids, some of it single-handedly and this has moulded her into the person she is today. Sharing that journey with her, and being influenced by her during this time has also shaped me into the person I am. I have no doubt that the quality of l...
