My four sons

This is my favourite picture taken a few years ago well quite a few

alex was 6 so that makes it ummm

8 years ago just before Matt left home.Matthew the eldest is the scholar,the ringleader in his brothers childhood escapades of which there were many.Timothy the biggest on the right blonde hair is the maniac and the one ALWAYS to get hurt in them escapades.And now he drives a car yup its a worry.Joel flat haircut is a huge reader like matt very quiet and i miss him terribly now he has moved,great thoughtfull present buying son.And Alexander my baby now 13 almost 14 is the one with Aspergers and what a journey he has dragged me on,also sweet a writer as is matt and sometimes Joel and an artistic creative boy.there they are and in my heart of hearts this is the picture i will always have of my sons.

My heart is filled with words

If you always do what you have always done

then you will always be what you've always been"

Enough to make me leave my first husband after 18years

The soul would have no rainbow

if the eyes had no tears

made me realise that its possible to trust again

May the road rise up to meet you.May the wind be always at your back.May the sun shine warm upon your face;the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
traditional gaelic blessing

And

Memories are a haunting of the heart
