A Change Is As Good As A Rest
I’m back to updating this blog after a lovely week out in sunny Lanzarote. It was my husband’s idea for us to go away as soon as possible once January 1st was here, and we flew out of the UK from Birmingham Airport on January 3rd. When we landed in Lanzarote it was...
Happy New Year 🙂 xxx
Happy new year to everyone who has followed Frankie's journey on this blog, who have sent us messages of support and who have said to us we have been an inspiration to them. We are truly humbled by the amount of support and love we and Frankie has received, and now...
Happy Birthday Frankie…One Month Today xxxx
One month ago today Frankie was born sleeping at 4.43am weighing 4lb 10oz. I can’t believe a month has gone by already since he was born and I held him in my arms. The pain of losing him is just as great and just as acute as it was then. We are still overwhelmed and...
Things I’ve Learnt Because Of Frankie
So Christmas has been and gone, and we all hope you had a lovely time and enjoyed the festive season with your loved ones with lots of food. Despite the pain of losing Frankie which is still very acute we had a lovely Christmas being together and were very fortunate...
Memory Candles

Life Will Never Be The Same Again: 17th to 21st December 2013
This picture of me and my husband was taken on the evening of Friday 20th December 2013 in Chesters Restaurant. We thought that a night out with 3 of our close friends would do us the world of good, so I organised a night that we could all make and booked a table for...
Oh Come All Ye Faithful: 16th December 2013
I finally started to get really into the Christmas spirit when I went to not just one, but two carol services - one at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital led by Rev’d David Southall and the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber Of Commerce business community one at...
Coming Back To Earth: 13th to 15th December 2013
Continuing in the theme and spirit of “life goes on”, I decided to go to Bushwackers in town for my work Christmas do on December 13th. I didn’t feel like it at all, but like everything else I decided to be brave and face it head on, and I was really glad I went. It...
