Joy used to be in charge of decorating. After she died, Lily took over. Now, it’s a team effort, with some new decorations added, mixed with the old. It grows, it changes, it evolves, it blends. Christmas decorating as a metaphor for life. X #doodleaday #widowerlife #loveafterloss #blendedfamily

We still talk about her every day, and we smile. It’s not hard to see her in Lily and Ben - the ripples still continue and always will. #doodleaday #widowerlife #loveafterloss

Zero days since I startled myself awake to tell Sarah something. And it has been nearly two years since I've slept in our bed. #widowerlife

I know it's for the best to do it. Making big decisions on my own is all a bit scary. Hopefully it'll look good when its finished.

But right now, it feels like there'll be more than a chipped bath and some smashed tiles going into the skip.
