Lost love.
Found love again.

* Split up from girlfriend of 8 years who I spent years teaching to love Embrace
* Bought a flat
* Found THE best new girlfriend I could've wished for
* Got a new job
* Bought a house with aforementioned girlfriend
* Got a new job
* Proposed to aforementioned girlfriend
* Suffered various new ailments which I had never heard of
I like this thread because listening to Embrace actually strikes up so many memories of the above. Sometimes it even gets emotional, but don't tell anybody.

I keep thinking about this thread each time someone replies. What has happened?
I got a PhD and had my bathroom remodelled. Had a couple of holidays. Spent time with friends. My daughters both hit milestone birthdays (21 and 16) and I am set to be a grandma by the time the gigs occur. I've made good decisions and bad ones. I've been ill and well, happy and sad. I've learned a lot and forgotten a lot.
Loads has happened.

Moved home to Ireland from London
Got Married
Became dad to two beautiful girls
Went back to college to get a degree
Changed job 3 times
Moved home 3 times
- eventually buying a house with the last move.
And the most tragic and difficult of all, my eldest daughter aged 4, diagnosed with cancer 6 months ago.
I waited so long for Embrace to come back. I would have traveled anywhere to see them. I still log on here, facebook and twitter to keep up to date, but this come back has come a little late for me.
