It’s been a tough day today. But I spent it sitting in your shadow, holding you close. Remembering you. Cherishing you and the memories we were blessed to create.
Loving you was the privilege of my life.
Honouring you is the mission of my life.

A wonderful opportunity for two young people who don't have much by way of cash or connections to get started in (digital) media. I'm a trustee of the charity, founded to commemorate my great mate Andy, who wanted us to help kids like the one he used to be.

I penned some thoughts for #CareDay25 about the woman who’s held my hand since I was 4.
Relationships matter.
Edi put her head above the parapet and challenged the status quo in 2002.
She fought so hard to have a relationship with me.
She shouldn’t have had too.
The world needs more Edi’s💜

Not me, lying in bed cuddling Willow thinking, “how on earth is it possible to love another soul as much as I love you🥹?”
Blessed beyond measure to have such a wonderful, sensitive, sassy, attitudey gal.
She just brings me so much joy💜
She taught me what love really is.

In 2016, I set up North Lanarkshire’s Champions Board. We had 3 young people. Including me.
In 2024, we had 27 young people attend our annual #Christmas movie night.
I could never have dreamed of the #participation structure we have now.
Humbled, proud & blessed to get to walk this journey with them

Instead of #ChristmasCards this year, I’ve chosen to donate the money otherwise spent on cards to @includem.bsky.social because I want every family to have a day filled with fun, laughter and plenty of food on the table. Where the only stress is “Can I eat anymore chocolate 🍫” 💜
