Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

It's totally gorgeous, Stacy 
Imagine living somewhere like that. I wonder if Brian takes Ryder, the sleek hound, when they go on holiday? I'll bet that fab boy would love it to the max! Big hugs sweetheart xxx
Uki, my mum's dad (i.e. my grandad) married mum's mum before WW2 but she died when mum was about 6. Grandad then married again. That marriage ended in divorce sometime post war, then he married a lady who was considerably younger than himself. We always called her 'Aunty' for that reason. Aunty's relatives included an uncle who was Ukrainian. Nice chap. I met him 2 or 3 times. Aunty died in the mid 1990s and I have lost contact with that branch of the family. I would not be surprised if we are all related in some way to each other if we could trace ancestry back to the 1400s

Hi Linda 
It would be fascinating to learn which regiment your dad served in.
My dad was in the Royal Artillery, Eighth Army, and besides the North African and Italian campaigns, he was also on the rescue mission at Dunkirk and the battle of Monte Casino.
He once had a very lucky escape as he'd swapped bunks with his best mate, only to witness him being blown to smithereens in the bunk he'd vacated only a short while before. He never told me that but he did tell my older brother who later told me. Same as Ray's dad, he didn't like to talk much about the war apart from amusing anecdotes. I know that a lot of old soldiers were the same.
So glad that your dad survived his appalling injury hon xxx
