Hi Malcolm
I have just one comment to add to what the others have said – you are not a statistic!!
Keep thinking positive, and have a wonderful trip …

I am so sad to learn of Kris’s passing.
Although I only knew Kris through these discussion boards and FB, her vitality and hope was always shining through even in her toughest days.
Sincere condolences to Hans and all Kris’s family and friends on their huge loss. Love and peace to Kris – I’m so glad our paths crossed in this life.

Lainy you are so right, to have found a soul mate is just the most wonderful blessing, and one that is not granted to everyone in this life – we just wanted to keep them a bit longer, didn’t we …

Thank you Marion and Gavin, for your kind words … surely together we can and will make a difference!
And Lainy – Alan was my husband and was/is the absolute love of my life (as your Teddy is to you) – thank God I still have my son Tom, (who is 28 and a dedicated paramedic) who brings lots of support and fun into my life.
Love and positive thoughts for you all.

Thank you so much, Gavin, for your very kind words.
Let’s hope that 2011 brings, if not the miracle, then at least some good results from the research that’s currently underway, which will lead the way forward …

Thank you for your kind words, Andrea.
The answers to this devastating disease must be out there somewhere – we’ll just keep going until we find it …

Thank you Marion!
We hope that, in time, the AMMF site will provide a comprehensive source of information on all things cc in the UK, something that is so badly needed at the moment.
And Gavin, we will get a copy of the newsletter in the post for your mum as soon as possible …

Oh, thank you Gavin.
Let me know if you would like a printed version of the newsletter and I’ll put one in the post to you …

Thanks for the update, Hans. So glad to hear that you and Kris have arrived safely and that things are beginning. Please give my love and lots of positive thoughts to Kris …

Hi Gavin
I’m so sorry to read you have been having a bit of a tough time recently – the first anniversary of your Dad’s passing will have made you re live all the hard times you must have gone through …
But you have got through a whole year and, as I so often see from postings on this site, you are so incredibly helpful and kind to so many others – and this is something very positive that has come from what you have been through. And a lovely tribute to your Dad that you are so willing to help others because of what he went through …
Lainy is so wise – and always has something so positive to say – raise a glass and think of the good times!
People say that time heals and whilst I don’t completely agree with that, with time (and there is no set amount – for some it is months, for some it is years), you learn coping techniques when the pain gets too much. And, of course, if you hadn’t loved your Dad so much, you wouldn’t have the pain – grief is the price we pay for love …
And, in the words of the lovely Leonard Cohen (!!!), “There ain’t no cure for love”
Thinking of you Gavin, and sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

Well done on all the arrangements, Lainy – it sounds as though it’s going to be so very special …
I’m sure Teddy is incredibly proud of you!!

My dear Lainy
That last episode of Teddy’s life is so hard to read about, and my heart just breaks for you that, after all your wonderful care of your special man, that had to happen. However, always looking for the positive in things – if anyone is the right person to take up this problem and get it sorted it is you, and then others will not have to go through what Teddy did, and the mental torture you feel now.
Another thought – and I add this out of concern for you, so please forgive me for raising this if you feel it’s an inappropriate comment – but Friday will be such a special day for you and your family and friends, full of love and loving memories, and if the hospice director is there and you talk about and relive that awful hospice experience then maybe your special memories of that day, too, might be spoilt …
With love and positive thoughts always
Helen xx
