    Today my little princess has a birthday. When indulging in pretend play, she often calls herself “Princess Mozella”. She is only a few years old and yet she has achieved a lot in a short space of time and is growing every day. Today we hosted a little afternoon tea with a couple of games…

  • Your reassuring hand on my shoulder, Your empathetic eyes; A rare gem who cares more than many in the field, Clear-thinking and wise.

I sat in that grief late afternoon today,…

  • Solitude. Often oblivious to surrounding movement; Ears filled with a barrier of music; Gently, I drew near. Resolve. Never a harsh word- you were always gracious, Allowing support; I longed to help you rise. Pressure. Mountains of work – Easier to sleep, than try; Concerned, I spoke for you. Turning point.
