"These are the days of our lives"

Boy's going through a tough time at the moment. Grief has crept up on him again and 'happy' occasions can be anything but.

I have been threatening to buy him a diary for ages because he has a habit of being somewhat disorganised. I ordered one online but when it arrived, I realised the journal I'd ordered was just a notebook, rather than a diary. I could have returned it but I was hoping that an unexpected present might make him smile this week so this afternoon I sat down with a calender and turned it into a diary. It's not perfect (I made a few mistakes and had to remove a few pages) but I've copied out a few lines of some of his favourite songs onto random pages and, even if he never uses it, I hope it makes him smile all the same.
