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.

a wonderful sense of calm in this piece Rhiannon, like the end to a perfect day has been achieved and you've just sat down to write about it.

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.

Posted on Fri, 04 Mar 2022
