philipwatling

Philip Watling lives in Milton Keynes, England with his American wife and their amazing cats, Spirit and Shadow. Unable to work, he still manages to do some… a zero-hour contract job that he can dip in and out of when he feels up to it! When not doing that, much of his week is spent at the gym, swimming and talking to everyone – socializing with people in the city center, seeing friends at various church-sponsored lunch clubs and chatting to lots of people - on line and off - trying to help as many as he can. His remaining time is spent playing with the cats, caring for his wife and volunteering at a local community fridge.

In December 1994 Philip was hit by a car and killed! Thankfully death wasn’t terminal and as the years passed in his new life he was able to write a book, "Flight of a Lifetime". This inspiring, autobiographical story about his life, his death and his resurrection may not change the world, but it may make people's perceptions of the world change. It will make you cry, but also make you laugh - often at the same time… he wrote about his death and made it funny!
