  • I'm a single Mum and have been for 6 very happy years. I've got two daughters of 9 and 6. It's been a long hard slog but I have now seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I'm a single Mum too. One son aged 8.

    It's hard but it's harder being in a rubbish relationship.

    Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear
    Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
    Are thinking of you today.
