With Brian and I it truly was a matter of love at first sight. Of course everyone said it wouldn't last because we were too young ... but we wouldn't listen and we are glad we didn't 'cos we have proved them all wrong !! Oh goodness it has not all been plain sailing far from it. We started our married life living in a one roomed apartment barely able to afford the rent and often having to hide from the rent man but that didn't matter we were together and that was all that mattered ... we can look back at those days now and laugh Haaa Haaaa......not a single day goes by without Brian tells me he loves me..he treats me like a queen......and makes me feel like the most important girl in the world........isn't he sweet.*BS* |

Oh, we have known heartbreak too, like on Christmas eve 1987 when our only adored son Liam died suddenly and without warning. We had waited 10 long years to have a son and then he was gone in the blinking of an eye. He had been waiting so patiently for santa to bring his bike ...he couldn't believe just one more sleep and santa will be here. Liam was just 2 1/2 years old when he was struck by a rare virus that was to claim his life. Liam died in his sister Adele's arms whilst his daddy and I were out doing some last minute Christmas shopping.... we thought our world had ended and we would never smile again |

A couple of months after Liam's untimely death ..... we were blessed with the arrival of his precious sister Vanessa. Liam had said if his new baby was a sister he would name her Vanessa !! now we had a reason to go on. Whilst Vanessa will never replace Liam- she was not intended to. She is a person in her own right and she does not walk in her brother's shadow, although I am sure you will agree she looks remarkably like him *S* |

TTThis is our eldest daughter Adele~Marie. Liam died in her arms, we didn't think she would ever recover from that .Adele idolised her brother ...... not one single day goes by that she does not talk about him !!! thank God Adele is a survivor and she is doing pretty well. She works as a nursery nurse in a school for mentally challenged children she adores children and is a brilliant Mummy to Taylor~Jayne and Olivia ~Rose. |
