In a way that I simply cannot explain to you, this will be my most profound post since I started writing this thing.
1. I became an Uncle on Thursday Night. Daniel is 7 pound 4 of the most amazing flesh and body I have ever witnessed. Thinking of him even now makes me want to weep (I really do wish I was joking)
2. I finally ‘get it’. In a single, uncharacteristic, enlightening and joyous moment, I worked it out.
I realised that my entire life has revolved around the premise that I never let anyone in. Obvious to the rest of the world, completely oblivious to me until I found myself writing some of the most profound stuff my idiotic brain has ever conjured.
I hope one day that the wisdom in my note to my new Nephew will help him avoid a life like mine.
Because without speaking a single word, without doing anything other than just being alive, he’ll be the person that will have been responsible for helping me to redefine what I call life……
