    About this ebook

    I lived in a town in the county of Surrey called Addlestone. This is getting bigger every year because of the building of houses and the growth of the population of people, but everything has to change, doesnt it?

    When I get to the stage of going gray, I will go gray naturally and not bother hiding it because I think that going gray is part of growing older, and that is part of life.

    This is my life story.

    Author

    Joanna Barnes

    I just wanted to show people, mainly stroke sufferers that there was live after a stroke. I know it has taken me quite a few years to get to the stage I am now, but that is because the only person I have had to help me to get where I am now is my husband, David. David has given me the courage to get where I am now. He has pushed me and he has shown me that there are some wicked people out there but I have grown up to take there jokes with them rather than against them. That way it is them that is them who is taking the joke rather than you. I hope my book gives you a tear of sadness as well as a tear of laughter. But I do hope that you enjoy reading my book as much as I enjoyed writting it.
