Obviously not…
During the 63 years I’ve been alive I think lead an interesting and varied life, the early years in Liverpool were hard as I’m sure you can imagine, 9 of us living in a two up two down house with no bathroom just an outside loo with a chain pull cistern, no toilet seat and had to use torn up newspaper. As number three in the clan of seven kids it was no harder or easier for me, a difficult black and white life with very little in the way of home comforts taught me a great deal, I learned how to cook and look after myself and so many life skills not needed by the kids of today.
The Army as a boy soldier also put me on a four year learning curve that helped me so much in my adult life, I can’t say it was brilliant but I think I did reasonably well in computer sales and management leading up to a $500,000 house in the USA then becoming the client service director for Dr Hal Huggins who was the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry rebalancing.
Not bad for a Liverpool lad that had nothing but plenty of love and guidance from my amazing mum who I love and talk with at least twice each week. During my time with Dr Huggins, I am confident in saying that I helped many of the thousands I talked with. It’s in my nature to help others and I think I’ve done that since my return 6 years ago.
What I don’t understand is that my son hasn’t seen me or even called me in 7 years, my daughter came to see me a couple of months after I came back but since then she got married and has had 2 kids, none of those things she told me about, that information came via others who heard about it on social media.
It’s very sad and I try not to think about but inevitably do and have a cry, not a tough cookie after all…. whatever!!!, I’d like to think I’m a good man and I’m sure there are many others that think that way, I’d hoped my daughter Lucy and son Joshua thought the same…. Obviously not..
