Time away from the wife is limited

By Vikki Cobain | digital imagery | Birmingham, UK

i am very happy these days: i am studying a wonderful craft and learning all the time. I have wanted to do this all my life but money and kids prevented this freedom. I used to work in corporate offices .... i used to get told off for ringing home, checking on my kids, for wearing a white stripe on a black top.... i hope i can do this justice. My son, Max (22) said, 'Do it - it's your time now, Mom'. Its great they understand. i love my kids and want them to be proud of me.
