At this time of year, there are lots of wishes flying around. Most of them are the usual seasonal messages – although perhaps this year there might be a few more wishes for improvements to snowy conditions and travel not being disrupted.
I have a few different things I’m wishing this year:
To those of you spending your first Christmas without a loved one (like me), I hope you can look back and remember the happy times. While never forgetting the bad times, may the new year bring optimism for the life that goes on.
To those of you living with cancer, and all that entails, I wish you the best possible time. May you be surrounded by love.
To those of you just starting out on your cancer journey, whether as a patient, carer or friend – I wish you all the very best. May you find the strength to deal with this devilish disease.
And to all the people I have met on this site during the last 18 months, who have comforted me and encouraged me – I wish you all peace and joy at this special time of the year.
You are all very special people, and deserve the very best for 2011 and beyond. XXXX
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
