Being the youngest of a family of seven I had a happy childhood, that is until our Dad was killed in a road traffic accident, when I was just eleven.
However, needs must and life carried on after the initial shock and our Mum did her best, which must have been very difficult for her.
We were all educated and did pretty well for ourselves, working hard along the way.
I went on to meet a decent guy and we've been married for forty five years, three good sons and three lovely grandchildren.
So, all in all, life has and is good with lots of luck along tbe way.
