I had determined from a very young age that I was going to marry, live in a rose covered cottage, and have two boys and two girls, the perfect happy family. Maybe I was a dreamer, but we all need to dream at times.
My life turned out to be a little different to that which I had dreamed about at a young age but my journey through life has helped to shape the person that I am today and the way that I can empathise with people who have challenges that sometimes seem unbearable. Sometimes we think we are given more than we can bear but then along comes something that helps us through one more time.
My book is about faith, love, hope, courage and devotion and tells the story of my son, Paul, and his journey through life and his battle with addiction. I hope that those who read this book who find themselves in similar situations will find some inner peace in their lives, and to know that whatever their challenges in life are, they are not alone. We are all in this together, and together with the help of God, family and friends we can weather the storms of life.
