Pilgrim Soldier

In just over 2 weeks Zoe & I will have been married for 7 years and its amazing how fast its gone. I cannot imagine being without her!

Yesterday and today I’ve been living her life in some ways. Zoe is off in Liepaja (about 3 hours drive away) having taken 11 children to the seaside for an overnight stay. That means I’ve been left at home with Sian, something that is normally Zoe’s domain. To say it has been a challenge is an understatement. My beautiful, wonderful and somewhat strong willed daughter seems to have decided that because I’m not her Mummy then she doesn’t have to do what I say and greets half my suggetions with “I want my Mummy!”

How Zoe copes just amazes me! She balances being Sian’s main carer with running a Children’s Day Centre. I’ve not been able to do anything else these 2 days!

What would I do without her? She is far more than I can ever express; my wife, best friend, soulmate, sounding board and so much more! To often I take her for granted, but the truth is that I love her more and more each day and enjoy her company more than anyone elses.
