in memory of my brother Mark, who sadly passed away on 26/04/2020 from Coronavirus.

It’s Jason, Mark’s brother here. Sadly, Mark passed away peacefully overnight. He was a truly remarkable man, and leaves behind his girlfriend Emily and baby daughter Eva who is 5 months old today. The biggest tribute you can pay to my brother is to stay at home.

@blondiesaint I’m getting there. Not ready to home yet, but on the mend at least.

So, I’ve spent the last few days in hospital. If you think #COVID19 won’t affect you, you are wrong. I thought that, and I was almost a goner. #Coronavirus

Today I’ve been working from home in the kitchen and my girlfriend , who should still be on mat leave has been working from home in the bedroom. We’ve shared babysitting duties. We totally ace this parenting thing.

Puppy just went outside and when he came back in went into meltdown because Eva wasn’t where “he left her” 😂

[Mark Channon @channon_mark]

I think it’s fair to say most of you know that Eva is not my biological child. However, today I started the process of adopting her. Any man can be a father, but this little girl is daddy’s little princess. ❤️

Had a lovely Easter Sunday afternoon catch up via WhatsApp Video with my parents back in Locks Heath, and then my friend and her baby, where babies met via video link. The poor puppy didn’t know what to do with himself with two babies in the house 😂

@europasaintsfc 12pm mate.

[Mark Channon @channon_mark]

Woke up at 8am in a panic because we’d slept all night but baby was still asleep. That’s the first all nighter and the first full night sleep my girlfriend or I have had in over three months.

Feels good going into work today even if it is to sort of VPN issues and I do have to drive into central London

[Mark Channon @channon_mark]

So much traffic going past my house today #StayAtHomeSaveLives

@myronisbaby Chinese ribs

[Mark Channon @channon_mark]

I’m on baby night shift duties so girlfriend can sleep.

[Mark Channon @channon_mark]

@markcottle17 It totally is mate. Said friend has been working even though her baby is only a few months old because she can’t afford not too, but she has had no one to go shopping for her and there was no way she was taking the baby, hence I went.

[Mark Channon @channon_mark]

Today I went to drop a few bits of to a fellow friend who lives on her own with her baby. We waved through the window. Is this really what life is like now?
