My name is Tony Gilbert. I
am a married father of three and I have been writing for just over a year. I would like to tell you briefly about a short
story that I have written and self-published on Kindle called ‘The Cloud
Diary’. It has received several
incredible reviews and five star ratings.
‘The Cloud Diary’ is a tale
of a young boy who has recently lost his mother. His father slips into a deep depression and no
one is able to draw him out of it. The
child is struggling at school and without someone at home to look up to; he
looks as if he may slip into the depression that his father has disappeared
within.
One day when walking home,
the child finds a cloud, or maybe the cloud finds him. People read this in
different ways: the cloud is his mother’s spirit; the cloud is an angel; the
cloud is an imaginary friend. I like to
leave it up to my readers to make their own decisions about this.
Although this is a tale of
bereavement, grief and mental illness, the ending will leave you with a sense
of hope, a promise of a new beginning, whatever the odds.
When I wrote this story, I
was so happy with it that I wanted to share it with as many people as possible.
Already, some of my readers have told me
how much this story meant to them, helping them to understand the feelings they
had after losing someone close to them. I
decided that I would sell the book for charity but I couldn’t find a charity
who I thought the content matched. Then,
I discovered Winston’s Wish.

enabling them to face the future with confidence and hope. They are the largest provider of childhood
bereavement services in the UK and offer the widest range of practical support
