Woke up to a very windy rain day today and thought of Peter and his funeral so I wrote on my Forum On this very blustery and wet day I would like to just say bye to a cyber friend that I had never met and yet meant so much to me. His struggle was ahead of me– so he always was giving me such sound advice about Cancer and also about putting my affairs in order making sure our loved ones were safe. He was a man of great strength and full of love and we chatted away in PM’s and emails and we read each others blog’s, when he wasn’t in Pain he commented on mine to encourage me, when I was so frightened of my first Chemo. Ray wouldn’t let me travel to Hull as he was worried that it would be to much –all that travelling and in this bad weather –that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking of my friend –the opposite in fact my thoughts are with him. Chris I hope you are strong to get through the sad day but you will have all your family and friends with you They will be your strength. Goodnight my dear friend RIP I got up and got ready to go to Savacentre Gillingham to meet my brother Martin and Pam as we had made arrangements. Set of and the journey was a very blowy one which is frightening in our little car against all those large lorries passing by. We went around the shops and bought my WII for Xmas as I will get some exercise with the games –which I need badly with all the sitting about I do. We found my brother and went to Marks for a lovely coffee and a piece of Carrot Cake –very yummy. Had a good natter and it was soon time to come home so said our goodbye’s. The journey was the same with wind blowing away. We were glad to get in and once again I was exhausted and had to sleep, I wish I could find the energy I once had. Had dinner and sat on the computer watched the show on Caron Carpenter the singers were nowhere near as good as she was— a one off– but it was lovely to hear her Music again. Going to take the dog for a walk and then bed. Next Wednesday is getting nearer
