Delivered differently...

Sometimes life doesn’t unfold the way you imagined.
This week, I’m writing about family, fear, second chances and the different ways love can arrive.

Dear Leo,

As you know, Uncle Adam and Uncle Gareth are my older brothers. Uncle Sam is mummy’s brother. Your grandparents all have siblings too. Families branch. They stretch. They multiply.

For a long time, I wasn’t sure I wanted that for myself.

If I’m honest, I think it was fear.
Fear of responsibility.
Fear of losing freedom.
Fear of not being able to give my child the life I imagined they deserved.
