You know the old saying - we HAVE our family but we choose our friends. Well, if I had the choice, the family I have is just the one I'd choose. Breaking the news 16 months ago to Fay and the children was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, and since that time their love, support and encouragement has been more than I could have ever hoped for. And of course, with all the children now married, that extends to the wife/husbands of the children as well. I've heard of similar situations where family members have lost the plot, and been quite dismissive of the cancer sufferer. Not so with my clan - and i have been truly blessed by their love, care and attention, even though they all have a host of other responsibilities and busy lives of their own.So THANKS to Fay and the family, and to God for giving them the patience and growing their character as they learn to cope with a husband and dad who has given them plenty of heartache and anxious moments.
More thanks on the way - stay with me!
Oh dad, that's lovely but we are family and we will always continue to love and support you no matter what condition or situation. We all love you immensely and that will never change. Love Leanne xxxx
