My Guiding Hand - Adrian Evans

Peter Edwards - A Brother-in-Law with a Fatherly influence! When May passed away, I was 18 years old, a mess on the inside and trying to be the big man on the outside, nowhere to go, no-one to turn to. You and Enid gave me a roof over my head and the security I so dearly needed. After a few months of letting me have my space and doing things my way, you sat me down one night and asked me what my plans were? The question totally threw me! All I could say was 'I'm 18 I don't have any plans' Your answer = EXACTLY MY POINT SON! Then you took the time to tell me about your youth and your experiences and the decisions you made - both right and wrong - and then told me to 'pull my head out of the sand' and have a little think about the things I wanted in life and to go for them. I have lived by your advice ever since, and I am the man I am today, because of the man you were all those years ago. And yes, I too have made both right and wrong decisions, but looking back over the last 32 years, I know we both made more right one's than wrong one's. I will always hold your memory very close to my heart.
