My Autobiography is written predominantly for the benefit of my children, Grandchildren and my Great Grandchildren and it has been my urgent desire to leave them this tangible legacy, that paints a picture in their minds of who the man was who wrote the words of this book and to remember me as the years pass on. My greatest wish is that my Mother and my Father's loving memory, drawn across the pages of this book would not fade and die with time but will always remain fresh in the minds of those who follow in my blood line, that their lives will be recorded for many years to come. May my story show that the events that changed my Father's destiny was after all in the plan of Almighty God and that my dear Mother's life would not have been in vain but that her evacuation to England during the dark days of World War two will be seen as God's will. Contained in the pages of this book are over 120 illustrated (Mostly coloured) photographs, my Spanish family tree with seven generations from the1860s up till 2013, together with a colourful honest profile of the Author. But most poignantly is the whole chapter devoted to my family; personal letters I have written to each of them from my heart, as though sent from Heaven, with all the tenderness and love that I can muster. This is my own story, told as though it had only just happened but perhaps as you read through my Autobiography you will feel an urgent call to write down your story too for the generations that follow after you. I present to you therefore my book, which has taken me more than two years to put together and in writing has opened deep wounds in my heart that had long been forgotten. This then is the enthralling Autobiography of a boy who almost missed being born.All the material in this book is subject to copyright protection 2013 (c)
