Welcome to Issue 116 ~ January 2025: Time After Time.
This month’s issue has been inspired by my favourite home-grown British sitcom, Gavin and Stacey. Whilst waiting in anticipation of the final instalment on Christmas Day (along with the rest of the UK), I decided to rewatch the whole series to refresh and tickle my memory!
During one particular episode, the beleaguered, eternally-bickering couple Dawn and Pete kiss and make up by crooning Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time to each other. It truly is a hilarious cringe-fest of epic proportions and one which needs to be seen to be believed!
After the belly laughs subsided, I was reminded of how much I love that song, and upon further investigation, I discovered the true meaning and story of its creation. Simply put, it's a love song about a devoted relationship between two people ~ its poignant, powerful lyrics really resonated with me:
~ ~
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
~ ~
Not everyone is fortunate enough to have that special someone, that amazing selfless person who is always there for you in your time of need when you need love, support, help, advice, understanding and a strong pair of arms to catch you when you fall, or to wrap around you when you need to feel safe.
So my message would be if you find that special significant person, treat them right, hold on to them tightly, and never let go of them!
