I did feel that air of excitement, but also a slight trepidation, as the last time I saw my cousin Julia, was when we were nine, which was nearly six...

I too have never heard of chemo curls. Went through a similar experience as you when I was younger. My hair is straight too. It was when a friend asked me to be a maid of honour at her wedding in about 1978. She wanted me to have permed hair so I...
The whole experience could have been much worse, that was why I wanted to record the episode in a diary entry, as the whole experience could easily be forgotten or not remembered right over time. We were very lucky, if we'd been...
Much love and respect goes out to anyone suffering any mental disorder. I myself nearly went through this condition in my early thirties, but managed to pull through without any tablets. It was only with the help of my health visitor taking me to...

This was a lovely family situation until the end. I have a feeling things aren't all what they seem and that is a big concern.

This is such a fond elegy for someone passing. I too am sorry for your loss Paul.
These lines stood out to me so much:-

Posted on Fri, 25 Mar 2022
Hear! Hear! Rhiannon. These words are so important. We all need that special someone we can depend on, and know they can depend on us too.
It brings to mind when our fence blew down, instead of getting in someone professional, me and my...
