    How are you doing today?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I'm struggling. But so used to that now that it feels like stating the obvious.

    I know what you mean, I bore myself answering that question with 'sore and tired' but, if that's what you're feeling, i for one would rather you were able to tell us

    I bought him this;

    It's a hand drawn, original sketch of Mark Hughes by Paul Windridge and there is a lovely story behind me being able to purchase it.

    As some of you know, my friend Tom is very ill at the moment and as he lives in America, he's going to be faced with a lot of medical bills. Paul has donated 17 original sketches to Tom to sell to raise funds towards his medical care. That's how highly thought of Tom is among a section of Man Utd supporters. We are family. Me purchasing this sketch is just something small I can do to help him.

    As to why I chose this sketch? I don't have many clear memories of my childhood. But the game this scene came from, that sticks out. I always watched the football with my dad, still do. The day this game was played I was 10 years old. We were a goal behind in the semi-final of the FA Cup and it looked like we were going out to Oldham. In the closing minute of the game, the ball came over his shoulder and he vollied it straight past the keeper to force a replay. That memory is so clear to me, even after all of this time, and that memory was made with my dad.

    When I saw this, I knew I had to have it. Not only do I get to help Tom out, but I get to give my dad a very unique and personal gift. My dad has always done what he can for us and he has supported me this past year and asked for nothing in return. And Tom has always been there for me. Every penny is money well spent.
