Thank you

Sending a huge thank you for the kindness and generosity you’ve shown me and Adam over the last couple of months.

Thank you for valuing my work and caring about us enough to assist us in our difficult time, especially during a cost of living crisis. It means so much.

The donations to PayPal have been overwhelming – thank you. I’ve put them in savings, and they’ve gone towards life expenses and the occasional meal out.

Close friends have delivered food and sent vouchers for meals and laundry services – which is such a huge help when my body and mind are both so exhausted and pained and Adam has done a long day of manual labour at work. And I’ve finally let friends see me at my most vulnerable – in bed, messy house – and accepted their help with doing the dishes. And to those who’ve come to hospital with me – you’ve made it easier and fun.

Thanks for the reading and streaming recommendations and cute videos. And thanks for the messages and calls. Mum tells me some of you have checked in on her and Dad (Roger) too – please keep doing that.

As hard and life changing as things have been, I’ve been reminded just what an incredible community I have online, and how wonderful my circle of friends are. I’m blown away by your practical help, humour and knowledge. Thank you.

I’ve still got a little way to go with my treatment (things seem to be going well post second chemo) and I’ll still be resting as much as I can. Your wishes and assistance make it so much easier.

I’m looking forward to some more social times soon. Spring is here.

Love and thanks to all of you.
