Back in September, my young relative Jacob (find the Alder Hey Thread) was born with a severe dysfunction of the bowel, and he spent months that a baby should ever have to suffer with.
Then, and you won't know this until now, at the beginning of December, my young nephew, at only 16 years of age was found dead at his home, my twin sister's son, of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. We still don't know the full cause, but this ripped our family to shreds with the sorrow. Only 16, ffs.
And today, as a manager of a Jessops store (not Liverpool, but Blackpool) my company has closed it doors forever due to administration proceedings, and I'm gonna be out of a job within a week, and I have had to explain to my staff that they too, are redundant.
Been the sh1ttiest of times.
Just wanna say, whatever you have affecting you, try to get the most out of it, make the best of it, because one day, if you get a bad run like I've just had, it ain't good.
Be thankful for what you have got.
Only saving grace is the future can hold something better if I can find it.
Let's hope a top 5 position for the Toffees is one of the good reasons for me to be looking forward to as well...
Rant over.
Paul.
