11 years ago today, May 8th… a Thursday night… I was out partying to celebrate finishing my last College exams, when I returned to my Boyfriends apartment and found a note waiting for me on his door…. It was the call that I was dreading… My step-dad died after a long battle with Aids…
Here is a bit of our story…

I met Simon a few months later and on May 8th 1999, we got married… 9 years ago today…

and then in December a bit more than 3 years ago, the man who had the role as my father died after his battle with Cancer… My mother decided that May 8th would be a good date to bury him… I asked her not to, to wait… but she didn’t care as usual…

Today is just filled with so many emotions… I am a bit bewildered…
