This time, 3 months ago, I was sat in Terminal One of Manchester Airport, eating and drinking my last Starbucks, waiting for the signs to say ‘Go To Gate’. I knew this trip was going to be fantastic, but I had no idea how much.
Reflecting on the last 3 months, it can certainly be described as a rollercoaster. I have watched babies take their first steps... I have been plagued with stomach problems. I have been a guest at mamas homes... I have had to cope with the breakup of a long term relationship. I have started to learn Swahili... I have attended the funeral of a 5 month old baby girl. Above all though, I get to wake up every morning and I do not dread going to work – in fact I cannot get there quickly enough. I know that today will be unique, different from yesterday and from tomorrow. I know that the more time I spend out of the house the greater the experience I will have. I never want this to end.
On top of that, I weighed myself today... in 3 months I have lost 18lbs! People here don’t understand my elation at this... here, if someone says ‘you are fat’ this is to be taken as a compliment, but one I will never quite accept!! Check out the skinny arm on this pic!
Oh, and feel free to post me some smaller trousers. The address is on the Forever Angels website!!
