Life is full of disappointments. Loss. Grief. Frustrated plans. Unrealised hopes and dreams. Yet, it is possible to know a depth of hope in the middle of them.
When our son was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 the life that we imagined changed beyond recognition. Since that day we have known difficult days that we don't want to experience again. Alongside this we have experienced a depth in the difficulty that I never could have thought possible. We've laughed hard, walked, sung, talked and imagined in the middle of it! We have experienced mini miracles! We've enjoyed the beauty of creation. We've known the invitation to join in with what God's up to in the world. We've grown closer as family. We have been overwhelmed and carried by a loving God, and the support and care of people who have walked with us in dark times.
“Have I known disappointments in life? Yes! Equally I am seeking day by day to live life in such a manner that I'm not disappointed.
It took me by surprise a few years ago when I wrote my first blog. It jumped out of my mind and on to the page! This site holds together everything that I have written so far (and a few photographs too!). I write because it helps me, but also because, much to my surprise it helps others. I hope it helps you too!
