Whoever said that a piece of paper doesn’t matter were wrong. We had our 1st date February 2000 then had our beautiful child in 2005. After a lot of ups and downs we finally tied the knot on this day 8 years ago and since then we have grown closer and closer. ❤️❤️🥰

Grief is a strange thing, it hits everyone differently and we all show it in different ways None are right or wrong they are just different. Just because we don’t show it in public doesn’t mean we are struggling Remember you never know what is happening in people personal lives❤️

Me in 1995 working as a staff nurse on an oncology ward at Charing Cross Hospital UK. I had completed my specialist qualification in Oncology and knew my career would be in cancer care. I would later become a CNS in Head and Neck Cancer. #NationalCancerCNSDay
