Title: The year from hell and the brightest light.
Post by: flip-r mk2 on 26 December, 2015, 01:34:37 PM
After suffering the worst year of my 47 years on this earth, having to watch my beloved wife Ray get diagnosed with that cunting cancer, to see her suffer and then finally succumb to it. The brightest light broke through it at 9.43pm on Christmas night, as our granddaughter Olivia made her grand entrance.
Good people of the forum, Olivia(http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/flipray09/DSC_0169_zpsz4n8out6.jpg) (http://s601.photobucket.com/user/flipray09/media/DSC_0169_zpsz4n8out6.jpg.html)
Olivia, the good people of the 2000ad forum.
