So tomorrow we celebrate 50 yes I said 50 years of the one and only Stephen Black 🥳
The children and I have had great fun teasing him about it and constantly reminding him he will be half a century old!!
We won’t get to celebrate tomorrow how we had intended too but we are just happy we are well for a change and we intend to celebrate Stephen officially becoming middle aged the best way we can.
So send Stephen your best wishes for tomorrow on his Quarantine 50th Birthday
Happy Birthday Stephen lots of love Fionnuala, Adam, Hannah, Rebecca and Charlie xxxxx
We are Stephen and Fionnuala and this is our story. We live in Northern Ireland, have been married for 17 years and have three kids - Adam, Hannah and Rebecca.
We hope that our story will inspire and encourage others. We have walked a rocky road yet here we are today, together and stronger than ever. We are far from perfect and our faith has been battered and bruised.
But an untested faith is a pointless faith. Just as a fractured faith is better than none at all.
We hope you enjoy the blog.

Happy Birthday. You can take pride in what you have accomplished: a loving family and a published author. Enjoy your day. Need I remind you that we want to hear ALL about it!
I was more talking about how wine increases in quality as it ages. 🙃But Diet Coke might increase in quality as it ages, too, who knows. ☺️Oh, the nonsense my brain waffles. 🦄 Just age as you will. No need to to go turning yourself into a drinks fridge. Ha ha ha.
Belated birthday wishes to you, Stephen! Have been inspired by your musings as you travel around the sun. May this, your 50th journey, be one of your best!!!
