My life without Dad.
An inspirational post.
Since losing my much loved dad two plus years ago. Mum in a care home with dementia sadly. She's still here thankfully though🙏.
I'm writing a travel book on travelling solo. On my own personal experience travelling. In memory of Dad.
Here's an extract from my book.
I've taken the courage to travel this wonderful world solo. I've been to so many lovely places and have felt safe everywhere I go.
Europe to Japan to USA and many countries in between.
I've met lovely women through various groups on Fb.
I now class them as good friends through my travels.
At present I'm in New York USA.
A destination that was once only in my dreams. I'm now living that dream..
This is now that time of year of my Re-birth. Which coinsides with my actual Birthday within a week or two..
Where 23 years ago I was fighting for my life for one month in intensive care, after an unprovoked horrific attack in Hove UK, where I was left for dead.
If it wasn't for kind passers-by who came to my aid when they found me unconscious on the pavement.
I'm no longer a victim of that crime but a survivor of that tragic event I went through.
I'm living proof life can go on.
With the power to go forward.
The will to live is strong. Even at times when I wanted to give up.
I pushed through..
I do suffer with depression and find some days hard. Some days I can't even function and I'm a mess.
Yet where once I couldn't venture out from home without a panic attack.
I'm taking the bull by the horns.
I'm so trying to get to my happy place.
Love to you all.
