I moved to Wales in 1988 and was Welsh Learner of the Year in 1990. This morning @GillibrandPeter did this, talking about the new provision for Welsh learners from @WelshGovernment . It’s the next generation! 😀

Here’s a tweet back in March. Delighted to say that I’ve had a call this morning to say that Adam will be leaving hospital on Thursday after being there since the 19th of January. On the way back to his home, and on the road to recovery. We will look forward to visiting him there

After proper dark days… I’ve been informed that my brother’s coming fully off sedation tonight and off the antibiotics on Sunday!! He’s still critically ill and recovery for an autistic individual, in full time care, will be tough - but this is genuinely the best news!!

Adam celebrates his 29th birthday tomorrow, and should be on his way back to his home before too long. What a year this has been, but he made it! Huge thanks to everyone for their good wishes/prayers.

A prayer which I wrote for Adam’s confirmation, back in the day. 1/2 Lord God, you have sent to us Adam as a witness to your love. Help us to learn from his unwillingness to be conformed to the standards of the world around him..
