Wow, it's been 6 long months of ups and downs, i was deep into learning the trade, this and working a full time job, supporting a family, a house, a wife, and 2 young kids when the worst happened! I was diagnosed with a Brain Anomoly. I had been working long 100hr, tough weeks, many hours and many days without rest and had collapsed while at my day job. i had put it down to stress and fatigue but an MRI scan later i'm staring at the worst news i could have ever imagined. I had an anomaly in my Brain...................

Now 6 months on from that news i am glad to say that i am in a better place. I have been told that the mass is unchanged and has probably been there for sometime, so i can get on with my life, plan for the future so to speak and get back to learning the trade. I have learned to live with my symtoms and focus on the things that matter in life..... my family, friends and our future together. So here i am back to studying learning the trade, with a 6 month delay but i'm happy to say that i'm here for the foreseeable future to continue to make my mark.

i have come to realise in these last few months... LIFE IS TOO SHORT, NEVER TAKE TIME FOR GRANTED, TREAT EVERYDAY AS IF IT IS YOUR LAST... DON'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW.
