An Inspiration
Dear Viv,
Its my Sunday morning time. Up early with a cup of tea in the peace and quiet. Today instead of the weekly Telegraph I read your diary. My Mother and Uncle both passed away through cancer – the latter cancer of the throat like you – and even though I was a child I remember his suffering. Whilst modern medicine has enabled this disease sometimes to be overcome, it takes a special person to want to live badly enough to go through the hell of the treatment from what I can understand.
If – “God forbid’ – I am ever to face such a test, I now know who I can turn to for inspiration ! I am sure many others also are drawing strength from your example. And as I get older and the physical bits don’t work as well as they should, I hope that I can remember how lucky I am and to follow your example of living to the full. And I am sure that you gained a lot of your strength from Avril ! Isn’t it amazing how strong our ladies can be when they also have to face such a test ! Fabulous.
Thank you.
Mike
