Seventeen
Today you turn seventeen.
My baby. My first born.
Seventeen.
That little blonde girl is now practically a woman.
I see glimpses of that girl in your smile, when you are concentrating, or when you are sleeping.
I see glimpses of me at your age, a world full of possibilities and excitement.
Today, on your birthday, you are not here. You […]

Happy Birthday self.
I was going to write a letter to myself for my birthday. I always write letters on birthdays.
But not this year. This year I have gone through some of my old letters. With a box of tissues to wipe the tears of sadness and the tears of mirth. I have revisited […]

Dear Mr Toy Manufacturer
Dear Mr Toy Manufacturer,

Balls I can cope with. […]

To Moo on your 16th birthday
I can’t bear it. Just the thought of you being 16 makes me all weepy.
I look at you and I see a woman. We laugh, we joke, we share. Just like girlfriends. But then you look sad and my heart breaks. You attempt to curl up in my lap and […]
