Oh Steve, we have been to the thread that you sent me below and we were both blown away. I asked Dad to reply and he said I don't know what to say. Although some of the information was a little mixed up (but I can understand that because we were all a bit miffed and mixed up about what was going on and you clarified that in the end) what you really wanted to say came out loud and clear. The love you showed bought tears to both of our eyes. We have printed the whole thing out. I loved the comment about the photo bringing out those blue eyes..........how many times do we hear people comment on his blue eyes. One of the cleaners who comes to clean my floors once a fortnight said to Dad. You have Irish blood in you don't you? Well Dad's grandmother was Irish. The cleaner is English and she said I can tell by your eyes. She won't clean until Dad is playing his guitar either!! That's getting off the point a bit though.
How long have you been sitting on this?? Since June I guess. You wrote that piece straight from your heart Steve and you are not one to wear your heart on your sleeve. Thank you so much for making Dad's day today and making him feel special he will never forget this or the email you wrote when he had the Lymphoma. It's those sorts of things that help keep him going although he often says I don't have a bad feeling with this. It's the radiation that I (me Mum) am worried about as Dr Pratt told us how severe it is and what can happen and will, but one day at a time.
I think you did the right thing by sending the thread to us and we both needed to read that and some of the comments were lovely. Can you thank them for us or not.
So there you go ... thank you all on Mum and Dad's behalf for your comments, prayers and thoughts.
