2016-2017

I have just had my 33rd Birthday and I am now a mother of two children.  Like most of my friends I have reached my 30's and become a mum.

I hope that I do not reach my 60's and become a great grandma by then.

I am in Nuneaton library with my son in my arms and thinking about the lunch that I have just had with my sister Anneka.

The main topic of conversation was about our middle sister Natasha who as just become unemployed due to the Co Op closing down in our home town Nuneaton.

The town that I no longer wanted to bringing in yet alone be raising a family.

We also talked about my book which is still in complete.

So I guess by next year I aim to have had it completed!

Today is the First Time that I have boggled since moving house with my children and becoming a "Full-Time" "Single Mum".

But what dose that really mean?

When I look over the last years of my life before my 33rd Birthday on 4th July 2016 I think of how much my children miss there farther.

And then I think of all of those people who lost there their fathers and prayed for them to home.

My children's father does not live with us and it is not because he his in the armed forces fighting for Queen and Country.  It is because we currently  live in a world where people are encouraged to be "single parents".

For almost three years we tried to stay together and raise our children as a couple BUT over the last 4 months I have done so on my own.

This is due to not being able to raise my children no a narrow boat which was their home due to the way that we where being unfairly treated by Canal and River Trust.

But today I do not think about this I think about those that gave their lives in the hope of a better future.

Sadly I will be unable to make it due to picking up my son from Nursery  at 17.30 and having to use public transport to do so.

The information about the event should hopefully be displayed on Nuneaton Memories Page on Facebook.
