I have followed your threads OJ, but never posted. Not really sure why I am now, because I don't think I have anything to say that hasn't already been said.

But, to echo what everyone has said so far, and to add, I think you have been utterly amazing. I am sure that you have made the difference to Steve, that others just wouldn't be able to pysically give.

Throughout all of the sadness and doubtless anger, I hope you can see that you should be so, so proud of yourself.

My thoughts have been, and are with you and Steve and your families right now.

captainmummy · 11/02/2008 12:58

Hope it all goes as well as it possibly could OJ. ARe you staying in there with him, or going home (for a well-earned break?)

OJ, thinking of you all. I think hospices do amazing stuff. I hope this helps you all in ways you might not be able to see at the moment. xx
