NAB....oh dear!

I just felt it was perhaps a bit inappropriate to put a note on this thread with all these lovely messages for OJ and her family so I thought I'd email you separately (and it obviously hasn't worked!) but I was a bit worried that this thread is going to run out very soon - we are nearing the 1000 mark and with the amount of messages coming on here for OJ it won't take long for the thread to stop. Just wondered if we ought to start a new one?...and I knew you'd be the right person to ask! xxxxxxx

I didn't know of this thread as I've not been around much lately. I read it a few hours ago and have gone away and felt so very sad for you all.

Of course I have known about you and Steve and the first post about what has become this awful terrible journey for you all.

When that journey has reached its end for Steve and yours takes a new direction towards rebuilding your lives in his absence I wish Steve peace and you and your children the courage and strength you will doubtless need to cope with what will sadly sometimes be the most overwhelming emotion.

Not least in the hours and days to come.

I wish I could take away some of your fear, pain and sadness but I hope in sharing a comparatively tiny fraction of your pain, as we all do here, you will feel that burden eased just a little bit and from that you will gain the strength to cope as you have continued to do so admirably.

I'm so sorry for you. All my love brave lady x

Its all very sad ... my deepest thoughts are with you OJ.

I dont mean this to sound wierd OJ, I truly don't... but you are very fortunate to know you havent got much time left together and that the end is close. I'm sure it helps you to treasure each minute spent with Steve.

Most of us don't know when our time is up on this earth ... and I would really hope that I could be with my DH as you are with Steve, when his (or my) time comes.

Take care and God bless x.
