MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID TO ME, "WHAT A PITY YOU HAD SUCH A BIG FAMILY TO RAISE THINK OF THE NOVELS AND THE SHORT STORIES AND POEMS YOU NEVER HAD TIME TO WRITE BECAUSE OF THAT.'

AND I LOOKED AT MY CHILDREN AND I SAID, 'THESE ARE MY POEMS. THESE ARE MY SHORT STORIES.

... A BLESSING CAME IN THREE'S....

Lets take a peek into a small part of Andy's life. As those of you who follow my blog will know Andy is my second husband, so he, as I, had lives with others and raised children before we met one another. Above he is as he was just over a year ago, fit, healthy and able to work. In july last year he suffered a stroke which changed our lives completely. He is progressing, but whether he will ever be the person he was we do not know, even the doctors cannot tell us.
This little chap is Chrisvien aka Junior. In this picture he is 14 months old, Andy and I took care of him for a large part of his second year and grew very fond of him. He is 5 years old now, small, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in other ways! He is the 3rd child of my stepson Chris.

And here is Megan, the first daughter of Andy's youngest daughter (he has 3 children). She is 10 years old now and unfortunately we do not know her very well, but then all the grandchildren, his and mine, which we refer to as "ours" live far from us.


Things come in 3's! When Megan was 3 years old, Sharon had triplet girls, I would still be running if it were me! they are Leanda, Samantha and Dominique.





Here they are, mom, dad and sister are all holding one!




Four years old! As you see they are now identical but with this little crowd one would have to have eyes at the back of ones head!*
Andy has 8 grandchildren, unfortunately we do not have pictures of half of them. I am working on it so that ALL the grandchildren, 15 in all, will have been properly introduced!

Love you children so that they learn to love theirs in turn, our children will do what we do not what we say, parents have an enormous responsibility to future generations.
