After 33 years as an Army Bomb Disposal Officer - and having taken the 'Long Walk' many times, my beloved has transitioned into civilian life. His new career running an organisation which lifts mines and advocates for those wounded in mind and body by conflict has led our family finally to our own home and to some semblance of 'normal' life. This is my take on where we have been and where we are going - together.
Sorry!
It has been an age since I wandered in here. There has been a lot to occupy me. My best friend died. I thought I was ready and it transpired that I wasn't. I miss her like I'd miss my right arm. I went through a period of feeling completely alone in the World which upset my darling boy. He loved her too but he never really got how profoundly and deeply I needed her. Life marches relentlessly on for those left reeling behind. Wills and Kate got married. We celebrated with a street party which was utterly fab. I have my head around my job and am growing to really like it. Steve is contemplating what he is going to do in 14 months when he waves goodbye to the Army after 34 years - I never consider much beyond tomorrow.
