De profundis
by birdsong @ Saturday, May. 03, 2008 - 12:14:55 am

I just sat in the pub locally for a couple of hours talking to a friend of mine who has become the father of someone else's children.
Fascinating. He is totally committed to the four kids in his care (only one his 'own' biologically). It is not an experience as I have ever had, as my children have no step father. He and I get on so well, and have this kind of undisclosed understanding.

How different things could have been if the mother of my two oldest girls had a relationship with someone else. There is a brother - a half brother - but his dad has no relationship with the girls, even though I delivered his son into the world.
Life's weird.

My wife has just been diagnosed with cervical cancer, and I'm off to see Marc Almond AND Baby Dee at Wilton's tomorrow.

Who is to say what is what...

I don't know what to say.
You are always the one with the faith.

I will think of you and her...and do my best to actually do the equivalent of what you did for me. you said you prayed for me once. don't think I'm good at that but I will do my best somehow.

Keep talking.
Keep writing.

Much love
