lifted this poem off is facebook page: He posted it there about 5 years ago. He's good at letting go and moving on...
"to let go isnt to forget, not to think about it, or ignore. It doesnt leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isnt about winning or losing. Its not about pride, and its not about how you appear, and its not about obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isnt blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesnt leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. Its not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isnt about loss and its not about defeat. To let go is to cherish memories, to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind in confidence for the future. Letting go is learning, experiencing, and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. Its about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, to clear a path and let yourself free."
clear at a path and let yourself free?!
I've only just understood the significance of Helen being found with no shoes on- BECAUSE SHE WAS AT HOME when she was killed. Remember how IS wanted all visitors to take their shoes off? Unless we are supposed to believe that Helen was just incredibly considerate of the kidnappers' cream carpets?
Yes I've only noticed her with bare feet in her indoor photos.

How many emails does he get about the trial though. I'm sure he won't sit on it.

I think I recall him saying he'd effectively been disabled for 19 years? Something about a blue badge driver ? Could be wrong .... But I think along those lines, his first wife was still working until her death tho.
Jamie was born in 1992, when I was still in Cambridge. That didnt go smoothly. Diane had had epileptic fits when she was about 16, during the pregnancy of Jamie she had very high blood pressure. She was out shopping and had a fit then and there. I was called to hospital. Jamie was not a natural birth, he was born by C section. It was a bit of a panic.
Diane then had another epileptic fit, she was in hospital, but the consequence of that was serious. She was banned from driving for three years. She made up her mind that she wasnt going to go back to work and was going to be a stay at home mum. The main reason we moved to Bassingbourn was because we wanted more space. I then had less than a five minute drive to work. We lived in a caravan whilst the house was being built on farmers land. We had to borrow some money to buy the land.
During the work on the house I would find myself tired and unable to do anything quicker than my dad. I realised something was wrong then (1994/95). Oliver was born the same year, in May 1995. Diane was taking medication for epilepsy. We moved into the house, it wasnt finished but it was liveable. I started to notice more and more things going wrong with my health. What really bought it to a head is that I was trying to hammer a nail in, and on the third bang my arm just wouldnt move. Thats what drove me to go to hospital. I was diagnosed almost instantly with Myasthenia gravis. It is an auto-immune disease where the body is attacking itself. They gave me steroids. A week later I was taken into intensive care because of the breathing problems. The doctors dont know what causes Myasthenia gravis - there is no known cure for it.
Interested Bystander has pointed out it's all over the internet on ghastly sites like 'The Love Whisperer'.Do you think he plagiarised that from elsewhere FPath?
Whats the ratio of widows to widowers on this groups? bet there's not many widowed men really. He's such a faker.

I just passed by that info, I thought she gave up work after a bad seizure but it might be me getting it wrong
here it is
PS His £7 K compo in 1978 was £40k in today's money. Quite a windfall when compensation would've been rare.
