An awe inspiring story… What great that can stem from horror…
You may know my son’s story. For once, I have no problem repeating it for those who do not. I have a very good reason for it that I have been bursting to share!
In 2009 my son was 25… a good looking, successful young man with a fast car, nice apartment near the coast and a very promising career. That ended on July 4th when he was left for dead in a Bournemouth alley, stabbed through the brain in an unprovoked attack.
2009 before the attack
I have written before of the terror of the next days as he underwent brain surgery to remove the shards of shattered bone from the left hemisphere of his brain. I have told of the weeks of heartache as we waited to see if he would live or die, while his brain bled and swelled, causing further damage to the brain stem itself…

Matt is a naughty boy! He knows how I love to use words to add into my story when he gives us his Flash Fiction Foray inspiration… But he has chosen an instrumental this week! Check it out Here – Appassionata Secret Garden
She slowly opened the rusty lock, on the old wooden door. It creaked, as she pushed the door open. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and raised her eyes. There it was. Looking as amazing as it had all those years ago. Sure, the flower beds were overgrown with weeds, the path no longer clear to walk along, but she could see it. The bench stood there, surrounded by beautiful wild rose bushes. She slowly took frail steps to the bench, felt the wind-worn wood and sank down. “My secret garden,” she whispered, then closed her eyes… forever….
Not sure… What do you think…?
Count to 10…

Think about it peeps…
I think none of us are truly ‘good’ or ‘bad’ throughout… We have all done little things in our lives, that may have been good for us, and possibly not so good for others. Sometimes, we may not realise the effects our well thought out decisions, may have on others.
Similarly, no one is bad. Could it be, their ‘good’ decision was ‘bad’ for you?
So, with that in mind, think through all you do. We can’t please everyone, but if we can take the route that hurts the least people, that’s a start.
Have a wonderful Wednesday Peeps!
