I've been itching to get back to you! Hello I;m still here and I've missed you all terribly.

Today is one month since I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We didn't realise the gravity of the situation immediately. Now we do. Yesterday was a big turning point for me. I don't know why maybe one day I'll fine out. Friday night I thought I was going to die. I really did. I wasn;t gravely ill, I was just ready to go. NEVER AGAIN.

I woke up on Saturday morning and saw the sun coming up and thought 'I'm not allows to choose'

So I got up and saw a lovely family that came to visit me with renewed vigor.

No-one thinks I'm going to die so why should i?

I had a wet shave (which is very unusual for me) and decided that everything I do I'll do it better. I'll do it with so much vigor and energy that this tumor can't stop us.

I'm unstoppable.

No more talk of death and no more thoughts of death.

Well done Ali for your renewed courage after Friday.

We thought of you in church tonight at the Carol Concert, especially the neighbours from Dacre who had come through fog and ice to get there. Remembering how cheerful you always are when we meet.

We are off to Miranda's at Fressingfield, the Graebe's patch. She tells me the church there is also praying for you.

Meanwhile, our love and prayers - we enjoyed the photos of Annecy a very special place, for all of us it would seem.

Our best wishes for Christmas.and a healthy New Year.
