Whilst I am always a glass half full person there are times in our lives when we struggle, when the future is maybe uncertain, when our lot is not quite what we would like it to be, when we don't feel on top of our game and then along comes someone like you who can, in but a few minutes, bring positivity and purpose back again - thank you so much.

Having recently lost all my remaining vision I'm still adjusting to it all but I know it's not the end of my world even if it feels like it some days. Glad to have come across your site, look forward to reading more. Hi Steph, I know where you are coming from, looking back can be dangerous but sometimes useful.

He always was and always will be a born a winner and an inspiration to anyone who is lucky enough to meet him.
