With these small arms

Unfortunately one of our semi-regular guests at The Dining Room felt the need to take his own life last week. I only found out the next day when his ex-wife came to Vive Cafe. She was heartbroken and I did what I could to console and comfort her.

But it was my three year old daughter that helped the most. She saw this lady crying and went and gave her a hug and stayed with her for a while. The relief and joy of my daughter’s show of love were evident as this brave lady left that evening.

About Me

I am in my late thirties, ok much closer to forty than thirty. A father of three wonderful children, and the husband and lover of my beautiful wife! I love playing games and reading to my kids, I love to drink a Guinness or two (or three) with friends and my Dad, thoroughly enjoy a good BBQ, and love the occasional glass of a good red wine with friends and family.
