“Good Friday was good until it wasn’t”…… Those were the words of a father of two autistic boys, as much as he describes joy he also describes with such truth the fact he finds life challenging and at times very lonely. He doesn’t sugar coat anything and I admire that, he describes parenting of special…

Mission accomplished, today 18th February 2019 was a big day, Molly’s section was lifted and she has was officially discharged from hospital.

Christmas Eve was beautiful, a happy Molly, who slept like a baby. Woke in great spirits, enjoyed breakfast and waited patiently for her brother Will to arrive before we opened our presents. Joy as she opened her much wished for ‘love heart’ ❤️ ring, couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw her Adidas tracksuit. 😍…
