Ann & I spent most of yesterday with Jane. She stayed in bed. Seeing her lying there, in pain & listening to her voice that sounded frail & strangely child-like was a total anathema. She has devoted her adult life to her husband & her four, bright, energetic children, energy which she has repaid in spades...clubs, teams, parties, shopping, school trips...you know the drill. Jane has kept physically fit too, playing netball right up until two weeks before her initial diagnosis. The contrast between then & now is stark & frightening. We are pinning our hopes on her current distress being pharmacological rather than pathological. The latter we can barely begin to consider, let alone talk about.
       And You, our Dear Friends, are a great source of strength & comfort. The physical distances that separate us melted away months ago. Ann & I wish Life's Blessings for every single one of you.
       With Love from our Hearts to Yours,
                                                             Nigel & Ann.
