My name is Linda,Skinny was my partner for 18 years.We have 6 children 4boys,2 girls.I first met skinny at the age of 15 years where we were both in a childrens home in St Andrews,Scotland.Even then he was such a character,witty,funny,bit silly.I only got to know him for 6 weeks then when i had to move on.We met up again when we were both 21,which was fate,as i was goin through a divorce,i had 2 children and went to stay with my brother and his wife,however they were not in that day so i popped downstairs to a neighbour of theirs and there was this familiar face i thought i knew sitting in the chair.Immediately i asked my brother who he was ,and when he told me who he was,my heart started racing,we started talking about what we done on leaving the childrens home,that was 1987.He was best years of my life,he picked up friends every where he went.
