This past year has been mostly traumatic with a couple of really good things.   

 

Firstly my marriage finally ended, I have been unhappy for some time and it all came to a head in July of this year.  It was very traumatic at the time but I can now say that "Mostly" my ex and I can get on ok for the sake of the kids.

 

My daughter discovered she was pregnant at the end of last year and of course at only 17 at that time, this was also a bit traumatic but she was determined she would have the baby and in May this year presented me with my first Grandson, Damien, who is absolutely gorgeous and he and my daughter are doing really well.  Despite her young age she is a great Mum and I am EXTREMELY proud of her.  I was present at the birth of my Grandson and I must say, having been at the "Busy End" twice before, it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life to see a baby born WOW!! and my Laura, hats off to her, she sailed through it, so impressed with her and I will say it again, PROUD!!

 

So the baby was the first good thing and the second is that I am now with a wonderful man named Ian whom I love and adore.
