Just had the phone call to say ....STEVE IS COMING HOME ON MONDAY !

[onlyjoking9329]

You and your family are in my thoughts. Love to you all, Snowbird xxx

OJ, you should be so proud of yourself, you are doing an amazing job of looking after Steve.

Me thinks, maybe the penny is slowly dropping with the MIL, she'll prob prove me wrong but maybe she can redeem herself a tiny bit even if it is for Steve.

So sorry OJ. xxx

so sorry too, I hope you and the dc have some really special times with Steve over the next few days x

sorry Steve had such a bad day today, hope he is in less pain tomorrow.

I too, read your threads and am truly humbled by them. Steve is very lucky to have such an amazing wife.

When are you next due to see your lovely Mac nurse?

Sending love
xx

......be strong, cherish these moments. We are ALL here for you.....Huge Hugs from your "MN friends". xxx

I am thinking of you OJ, so much, sending you lots and lots of love xxx

So sorry Steve has not had a good day. Hope he can have some special time tonight with the kids and you ((((hugs)))) for you Steve and the kids, you are always in my thoughts. xx

Steve woke up when he smelt the choc orange cake cooking i have made 3 so we should be ok, i managed to get him to eeat some with vanilla sauce the kids managed a cuddle with him before he went back to sleep
he was awake a lot yesterday and has slept all day today so we will see how he is tomorrow, i phoned the lovely Mac nurse but she isn't back til tomorrow.

Must smell lovely in your house! Hope you have a peaceful evening and night.x

Much love to you all OJ xx

So pleased kids got to cuddle Steve before he fell asleep. If all the 3 cakes are not eaten you could make Steve a choc orange trifle with the left overs hope you have a nice restful evening OJ...xx

Oh love.

Please tell us if there is anything at all you want.

Onlyjoking, you are an amazing inspiring woman, your family are so lucky to have you to hold them together, and of course to make chocolate orange cakes.

I'm so glad to hear the children managed to have a cuddle with their dad this evening, just what they need at the end of the day. Hope you get yours too.

So sorry to hear that Steve is deteriorating. I hope his pain is well managed.

He is so lucky to have you, OJ. You are just the BUSINESS when it comes to being a fantastic wife, mother and maker of chocolate orange cakes.

I keep hoping that MIL will finally wake up and smell the rum coffee, realise how lucky Steve is to have someone who loves and gives so selflessly and see far enough outside her own bitter life to be able to thank you and offer some support before it really is too late.

Lots of love - wish I could do more than that, but think about you and check in every day, humbled like so many others, by your dignity and positivity in the face of such loss.

Oh darling, I am so sorry to read about today. I hope you and Steve have a peaceful night. Sorry too that MIL is at large. It must be doubly difficult for you to have her looming as well. I hope you can get some good answers from the Mac nurse when she is back

Is there anything any of us can do to help? I wish I lived nearer so I could pop a cake over - can I do an internet shop for you? Or an oddbins delivery ? I know you have lots of RL support but would happily do anything which might make the next few weeks easier from a practical point of view.

Much love to you all XXX

OJ x

support is all we need really. Thankfully we have had loads of that from MN and RL mates, it's just a shame that family can't do that.
i do have a wish list but i know that the things that are on is are not going to happen. Maybe i should have a chocolate and rum list instead

OJ - you amaze me, chocolate orange cake - you truly are an angel you know - i know it sounds silly, but all those little things you do (as well as the big ones) it just humbles me - if ever anyone doubts that true love exists, they should read your story OJ. I only wish it had a happy ending

{{{{{{{{{{{cyberhugs to you all}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Oh OJ

I keep typing and deleting....I just don't know what I can say.....you two so clearly have something thats very special and you will always have that....

How are the kids coping with it?

Hugs to you all x

you can say all the nice things you like but i ain't sending you any choc orange cake
i made 8 last week
