Sweetheat, I have just caught up with your news on MN and I realise that at the moment things must seem blacker than you have ever thought possible. I would rather send this to you by email, but I'm on MILs steam generated PC atm and I can't access my email, so I hope that you can get to read this, as I don't want to wait until next week when I am home.

I wish that I could make it all right for you, I wish that I could do the same for me. But one thing I can promise you in that you will cope. You will. Because we don't have the option not to cope.

And while I would not insult you by saying that things will all be OK, they are seldom quite as bad as they seem. Life can and does go on. Mr MB was given 3-6 months just before christmas and he is still with me, and enjoying life. Small miracles happen for us every day, and they will for you too.

I just wish that you could have the big miracle.

capture each moment. None of us is granted eternity. We should all live for the momnent. I just wish that I hadn't taken dh getting ill to ake me realise that.

Get linked up with the macmillan nurses asap, they are wonderful. And for what is is worth you have a special place in my heart tonight.

you two have a special place in all our hearts, oj and mb. peace and strength to you both.

Can I add my name too? I haven't 'spoken' to OJ on Mumsnet but have read her story and feel very saddened by all that is happening, but also very inspired by her cheerfulness and steady determination to get on with things.

And of course MB, I know your situation too and am also inspired by your courage and strength.

You are both unique people and I wish you both the very best.

thanks MB for taling the time to post. somebody Cadders i think? offered to text you about our news but i wanted to wait until you were back as i didn't want to put a downer on your holiday.
there are lots of things going round in my head at the moment but i am sure things will settle down and soon become the "norm" we have a rather strange sense of norm in our house!
i will speak to you when you return, glad to hear you have been having a fab time and no doubt making special memories

misdee and MB have always been much admired by myself, they are both fab. did MB used to be HMB?

How thoughtful of you MB.

OJ, wishing you and DH all the very best.
