I walked past the school playground yesterday. I stopped to watch the children run round playing in the sunshine, shouting and laughing as they passed the ball to each other.

I remembered my children in that playground, I watched parents picking up and chatting about their day, holding hands and children skipping alongside. The memories bought a tear to my eye.

I thought how easy life was then, how innocent and simple. Fast forwarding, my life has reached its new normal but I'm still riddled with conflicting emotions. My children were close - but now hate exists and that's painful for any parent to deal with.

still - as we do - I wiped away that tear, took a deep breath and walked on........

Yes Smile it gets to you doesn't it?- earlier this week I found the cot quilt which my Mum made for my son and started crying because the reality is that I will probably never have any grandchildren myself now
