Diagnosed with a terminal glioblastoma Brain tumour in 2022. My latest MRI shows regrowth that seemed to arrive with a spark of creativity maybe it was Terminal lucidity? But that surge of purpose and creativity seems to be fading resulting in this poem. It's a little self indulgent and overly dramatic but sometimes it just helps to get things out of your head so you can resume looking for the positives in what's left of life.

For my Wife. 25 years married.

Made our vows 6th January 2001

A frontier retelling of our life together. From our first meeting in a cold and icy Manchester. Through starting and running our business together, raising our family and almost sailing off into the sunset just as I was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in 2022.

Plan like you will live forever, Live like you might not.
