Lovely thread Gary.
The thing that tugs at my heartstrings is all the stuff I have put my Mum & Dad through in my younger years.
I were no angel at all but they were always there for me. I know a lot of you will say that is what parents are there to do but you dont know what I put them through.
I look back now and part of me is glad that I went through what I did or else it wouldnt have made me the person I am today but the bigger part of me feels sad that I did things to hurt my closest.
