Shirley’s Daughter

Today I nipped to my hometown for a quick catch-up with a friend. I stopped to help someone who’d dropped something, and as she thanked me, she asked, “Are you Shirley’s daughter?”

We had a lovely little exchange — and then the emotions hit me. Just because Shirley is dead doesn’t mean I’m not her daughter anymore. I am still her daughter.

As I sit with that, the tears come along with that big, horrible, hurty lump in my throat.

But I also want to acknowledge something simple and honest…

’s a bitch ’s daughter

Ps 🙏 to my best friend of 36 years & my sister being so caring

Today, I’m thinking of all the young people receiving their GCSE results. For some, it’s a moment of sheer joy and celebration; for others, it’s a feeling of deep despair. It’s important to remember that for those who are disappointed, this isn’t the end of their journey—there will be other opportunities. My heart goes out to every one of them, especially the amazing young people I have the privilege of working with.
