I got up this morning and blew the cobwebs of my best suit. Court Day!
I was finally being made a Bankrupt. I had been fighting this for over two years, from court room to lawyer’s office, I had tried hard to clear my good name, but, all to no avail.
I had lost.
I owed nearly £90,000 and the vultures were circling. I have been rich twice, and I have lost it twice. What can you do...
Still, not a person to dwell on my trouble's, I tied my tie and went to say goodbye to my two year old son.
"Daddy" he said, as he is just beginning to string short sentences together and they are usually a load of garble.
"Crocodiles and Alligators," He smiled at me innocently.
"You’re absolutely right, boy." I said sighing.
Then I went to face my destiny.

Hi
I must say your blog made me laugh! I have only just joined up to this medium and sadly my blog aint much fun either! I lost my son (he has had to move away) living with the choice I have made is harder than I thought it would be.... so I decided to write him a poem (which one day he may read when he has stopped feeling so angry towards me) It is entitled LOST SON (and that is my Blog too !).
Rejoice in the wonderful things that your son says to you and enjoy every minute of his years to come. My son, at 13, despite the teenage angst bit being taken into account, has become a stranger and that really hurts....
Hope to chat some time?
Linda x
P.s. Good luck in all your court dealings. I am sure you will bounce back (after all you have a family to keep!) So it will be the rise/rise and fall and rise again of ChrisWriter then !!!-

Hey, so how did it go?
Was the waiting worst than the reality?
Do you still have your pants? Or are there large irregular teeth marks in evidence?
Take care and remember, keep smiling at those precious infant words (and even better, write them down, I wish I had, then I could take them out, dust them off, and smile anew, through the tears)
Linda
P.s. I am not a hanky-type person in case you're worried! Cheers. -

yeah, he was right, the debtors and the lawyers are a bunch of croc's and alligators, all for a pound of flesh, so he wasn't talking so much garbage after all for a mere two year old xx
