If you know, you know. For those that don’t, meet Sian. My daughter, born way back in 1995 when I was just 21 (almost 22). Unfortunately things didn’t work out between me and her mum, and much as I had promised my child would never grow up without me, like I did without my dad…… Well shit happens.

Thankfully a good guy stepped in, and by all accounts she has had a great life, for which I am super thankful. However nothing quite fills the hole in my heart that living the last 26 years without her in my life have caused.

I’m not going to whine on about it, this isn’t a pity party. This is just me taking a moment to recognise I have a THIRTY year old daughter. Wow!

I really hope life is going well, and am so grateful to have shared the time with you that I got to.

Happy birthday, may the day and life bring you so many wonderful things.

Just a mini pity party… I spent many years in a terrible mental state, beating myself up about how it all worked out, but now I realise, this wasn’t my choice or my doing, I have always been here. There, said it! 😊
