When I start doubting myself why I put myself and my family through all the extra work and late nights doing these dinners and toys. Then you receive messages like this really does make it worth while and reminds me exactly why I do this.
Have been absolutely flat out and just took yesterday to recover and spend some proper family time with my family. And I was so lucky that I didnt even need to do any deliveries this year which meant I could spend Christmas eve at home.
The final numbers this year was a massive 282 meals served and helped 21 children across 9 families . Honestly non of this would of been possible without every single person who helped from donations to delivery drivers. So from the bottom of my heart i thank each and every single 1 of yous. And hope these messages make your Christmas just like mine.
Although this Christmas was such an achievement what everyone doesn't know is that while I was doing all this I was actually going through a break up with my partner of over 10 years. And that made everything so much harder. Even though we were going through this Ruth still helped me when it mattered most by helping me portion, bag and label the dinners and i couldn't of done it without her. I get all the gratitude for doing these dinners over the years but to be honest without my family in the background helping and supporting non of this would of been possible all these years. So I just want to Thank Ruth for everything she has done and my family as they have suffered in order for me to do this every year and actually go unnoticed in the background. I certainly never unnoticed their hard work on holding things together while I helped others but I also never really showed my appreciation. So to them I thank yous and I do this for yous to be proud of me. It has been a really bad ending of the year for me but I just hope things can get better. I now need to take abit of time to work on things and hopefully Ruth and I can sort things out as it has just really hit me now as im not as busy as I was while doing the dinners.
