I Am Back, Why Have I Not Posted Recently?

I Am Back, Why Have I Not Posted Recently?

 

 

After a long illness my wife Carol passed away 15 months ago. We had been married almost 40 years.

When we met, Carol had two son's and I had three son's to previous marriages. We later had a daughter together.

We had a wonderful life together, but her passing meant that we had to adjust to life without her.

Our children all have their own families now, so that left me alone. Thankfully one of my grandsons is now living with me and is great company.

It's been difficult to find the motivation to get back to working on my websites, but with encouragement from our family, here I am.

It's good to be back.

Jim
