A story inspired by a lifetime of remarkable events. Stories of joy and hilarity, despair, danger and excitement. During my lifetime, I have had the good fortune to visit many parts of the world . My experiences during my travels have been many and varied . Some have been exciting some desperately heart rendering. I have seen things which have brought great joy, and others which have haunted my soul and brought tears to my eyes. I have known the joy of love and marriage, and the pain and heartbreak of divorce. I have however been blessed with five amazing children, who have all brought me great happiness. Life has truly been an incredible rollercoaster, which has taken me to the heights of pleasure and to the very depths of desperation. I can however honestly say that I have lived it to the full. There are things which I regret and times which I relish. However I take great comfort; in the knowledge that there were people who were there and cared, for me, in my hours of greatest need.
