The Story Behind Graham
I’m a wannabe empty nester, and want to travel the world to see awesome sights, meet new people, and learn about different cultures. I’m curious about life, the world, and discovering myself. But I have a daughter with additional needs still living at home with us. So my partner Debra and I still needs our support her to grow, discover who she is, and make her way in the world.
