In April my ex-husband passed away after a very short battle with cancer. It’s an unusual expression -  to ‘battle’ with cancer. There was no battle. The cancer was cunning. It arrived unannounced and spread its evil through his body without fanfare. By the time he was aware that he...

In 2019 my 16 year old daughter was on a 6 month student exchange from Australia to France. I planned to fly to France to spend the last 2 weeks of her stay with her - and with visions of myself as Audrey Hepburn shopping and sightseeing in Paris, I...
