This song pierces my heart 😢
“I was 12 when the Da’s started killing themselves all around me”.

Last day! Thanks to all who engaged and messaged me and followed along.

At the end of a hard oul slog of a year I needed this!

Write three things you’re grateful for…I’m keeping mine to myself this time but I am grateful for so much and so many

I wish you all a peaceful and mindful Christmas.

2. My sister…who does Christmas dinner every year for the family…legend!
3. My health…may it continue long after 2025.
