Dh's MBE

[Blandmum]

We managed to make it all work, and dh was well enough to have it presented yesterday.

Friend organised the medal and citation to be sent from High Wycombe, and dh was awake enough, so at 7 o'clock we started to get everyone together and by 8.15 it was 'done'

Quite wonderful and the right thing to do. Dh deserved to get it, and it was far more meaningful than my picking it up on his behalf 'after'

The citation summed him up to a tee, it talked about his inspirational leadership, dedication and profesionalism. And said how brave he was.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

I spent the night with him and can give the nurses no better praise than to say that they are as wonderful as can be. It was almost like being surrounded my MN.

The MN rug was with me, BTW.

Going now to have a shower

Absolutely brilliant news.

But PMSL at the idea of all MN being with you. How many arguments were there going on at the same time, as well as the swearing?!

How wonderful for you both and how proud you must be of each other.
Well done to you both.

So pleased it all went to plan. Others have said it already but IMO this is what MBEs etc are really all about. People like your dh doing a challenging and sometimes thankless job for us all, with such dedication and excellence.
V. glad your rug was with you btw XXX

Am so pleased that the MBE was presented. All the best to all your family.

Brilliant MB! Congratulations again to Mr MB.
I'm glad you were able to arrange it (although I don't see why the Queen couldn't have popped along with it, actually!)

You know that all of MN were with you in spirit, anyway, and probably a bit quieter that way!

I'm so glad that the evening was a success. Heartfelt thanks to Mr. MB MBE for doing such an important job so well.

I am so pleased that MrMB MBE was able to receive his MBE.

Glad it went so well MB, and dh was able to get his award. A lovely memory for you.

could someone explain the Rug?

Have all teh lovely craft MNers been creative again?

I am so pleased you could create this memory together xx

So thrilled he got to receive his award. Very deserved and appropriate.

Tissues all round I'm sure .

Oh brilliant - so pleased it all went ahead.

How wonderful for him, you and the children, so utterly deserved.

Much strength to you all.

Glad Mr MB was well enough to be presented with his award.

He really is a hero.

I am so pleased that you managed to arrange the presentation. It sounded lovely (apart from the being surrounded by imaginary people bit - am a bit worried about you now!).

Many many congratulations Mr MB MBE. An honour well deserved.

Many Congratulations to MrMB
