Missing you
I miss George. He was my go to guy, whenever anything was on my mind, good or bad, he was my go to guy. Xx

Downturn
Worked all day yesterday, and honestly, I was in no mood for it. Physically and emotionally drained, it's been an arduous few weeks. Popped across to see George, and he looks absolutely shockin...
Brave face
I am emotionally drained. Work has been relentless and exhausting. Just one sad case after another, breaking my heart, when it's already breaking over George. He was so hopeful when I went to s...
