I can remember a film Jess and I went to see at the Playhouse when we were kids,it was called "No Room at the Inn".The children in it were without parents,they were'nt orphans,Dad was at the War and I forget where Mum was.Reading your story brought back the memory of how that film made us feel.As poor as we were ,we were sad for those little children.And that is just how your young life comes across to me.You must be made of strong stuff to come through all that unscathed,and I bet your children could not wish for a better father.
You are creating something extraordinary,carry on,
Best wishes
