A place for me to scream into the void.

Mother of two young urchins with what is deemed locally ‘selective hearing’, and carer of an elderly father with Alzheimer’s.

Sometimes it’s all a bit too much.

‘Life is full of meetings and partings. That is the way of it.’

As children move through their ‘last times’, I think about that today.

World Book Day is fun in this house… next year, it’ll just be for the youngest. But I long to protect innocent, socially acceptable dress-up for my eldest forever.

Watch the video (don’t just read the headline), and appreciate the default parent 😊
