A long time ago, before I was born and before daddy met mummy Claire he had a house in Aylesbury. A few years after he got it he met mummy Frances and she went to stay there all the time as well.  

One day, not long after I was born, they stopped living together. Mummy Frances left daddys house to go and stay at her friends. 

At first I lived with my Daddy.  He said he loved me very much and didn't want me to go and stay with mummy Frances all the time because she didn't have anywhere proper to live and he didn't think she could look after me properly.  

He  still took me to see mummy Frances every day, wherever she was staying, and I stayed with her while he went to work.  Then one day I went to stay with mummy Frances for a whole week while daddy went away on a special work trip and when he came back she said that I couldn't live with him anymore.

So from when I was about 5 months old until January 2001 I lived with my mummy Frances.

Last year, ( 2000),  mummy Frances had another baby, my brother.  She said that she couldn't look after both of us so she said I should go and live with my Daddy and Mummy Claire in Milton Keynes.

I tried to visit mummy Frances every week.  Daddy or mummy Claire would take me over in our car.   But even though I was only there for about 6 hours mummy Frances didn't seem able to spend time with me.  Eventually she would only see me every couple of weeks, sometimes it was 3 or 4 weeks when I saw her again.

Daddy and mummy Claire tried to encourage mummy Frances to come and visit me at our house in Milton Keynes but she wouldn't come,  (although one of her friends has)

Mummy Frances and my brother moved from their house in Aylesbury a couple of months ago and went to live with her mummy and family  somewhere on the other side of London.  It made me sad and I cried because I want to be able to see my brother.

I miss seeing my brother and mummy Frances,, but daddy has told me that mummy Frances has moved too far away for us to go and visit her and that she has said that she won't come and see us in Milton Keynes. 

Mummy Frances promised daddy and mummy Claire that that she would write me letters and send me picture about how she and my brother were doing.  She promised that she would phone me every few weeks to see how I was.  But she hasn't written or phoned me at all since she went away and it makes me feel sad.   I don't know why she doesn't write or phone like she said she would.  I must have done something wrong and upset her so that she doesn't want to be my friend anymore. 

I guess I'll just have to wait until I am grown up and then I can go and ask mummy Frances why she didn't like me anymore.

There's a click-thing on the side of this page that will take you to a special page that has some pictures of mummy Frances.
