The Anonymous Widower

When To Have Children!

I was 21 when we married and my wife was a year younger and at Liverpool University, which I’d just left.

By our mid-twenties, we had three small children, I’d started a successful programming business and my wife was on her second first degree in law at University College London.

By our early forties, she was a very successful barrister and I was a partner in a company that changed the way large projects were handled throughout the world.

In the last five years, my late wife and our youngest son have died from cancer and I’ve had a serious stroke.

So life has been a roller coaster and like all good London mongrels, I’ll win the fight in the end. But neither of us ever regretted having our children early.
