So this section is about my gawgus daughter, Julia, whom I am justifiably proud of. Now married to her childhood sweetheart James, she is my everything and I love her to the moon and back!
What can I say about Julia? She's everything I could have wished for in a daughter and more, I am immensely proud of her for all she has achieved so far and for the wonderful young woman she has grown into. Despite all the aggravation over the years between her Dad and me I have never been sorry I had her and despite what I feel about my Ex, Julia was the best thing we ever did. As she's grown up into the woman she is today I feel proud that I managed to raise such a well-balanced girl all on my own.
Julia completed an Art course at Mid-Kent College, an advanced diploma in Creative Media which she excelled at as usual and also completed a BA(Hons) in Interior Design. She unfortunately had to bow out at the last hurdle from the PGCE course due to ill health and for a few years worked as an Art TA/Technician which enabled her to enjoy the fun side of teaching without the crap that goes with it.
Her art is a real passion for her and she's adept at using the therapy side of it to sustain her during life's more difficult moments as well as celebrating the good memories.
On a final note - Julia you are the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me and whilst it hasn't always been easy just us two on our own you're not only my daughter but my best friend too.
Much love Mum x
