visitors in life

Lucid still. These last 2 years have been a time of reflection. The folk in my life and as importantly those who have left. I never paused to consider losing 2 siblings in 2 years and that is the reason for the reflection and the impact those 2 people had in my life.
I've wondered too whether coming from such a large family I have been protected from the impact of people leaving my life.
Back to being positive! As far back as I can remember it's the fond memories of those I have known, nearly all have made a positive impact. From being a gangly awkward teenager, the adolescent years, teased mercilessly from very worldly people at work, especially from day one in Salvation Army uniform in Kilbirnie [difficult place to grow up] and the fish bowl romance.
Who had the greatest impact on my life [and still has]? My [step] mother! The things she taught my enable me to rejoice over all the people, whether here or somewhere else!

Now then, daddy.
I have been turning to your blog page now for some time, only to be a little saddened everytime, since December, that you have not added anything new. Along with Melly, I have decided that this blogging business, is such a lovely way to catch up on the bits and bobs from each other's lives, we normally miss out on.... including our occassional 'inspired thoughts.'
Love you XxX
