Hi ..just thought id mention i won't be on here for a while as had a phone call from my cousin about my dear uncle lee who is becoming quite poorly in hospital at the age of 88 ...he was taken in literally on the day i had mentioned him on the forum the other day .but was not so bad ... Just haven't got the heart to carry on ...as normal ...if that makes sense ... I love this forum you are such a lovely forum and I wish you all a lovely happy and peaceful Christmas for you and yours and also thinking of anybody who has anybody poorly too...so difficult this time of year ...he is my late mums little brother ...I am so close to him ..and his wife has been gone 12 years Christmas Eve ...just before my parents both passed ...9 weeks apart ....and my Mums birthday ....As I said this forum is lovely i just need a bit of reflection time and I'm on alert Every time the telephone goes.... My cousin said he wouldn't know if I'm there if i went to see him ...hubby is more than happy to take me to Halifax. If he picks up we are up there no hesitation.....kind regards to you all x

Hi everybody ..the latest about my uncle is that he has had his first solid food for 17 days and been hoisted into a chair....my cousin said quite rightly any positive is good.....he's always been feisty in his life ..I might just call him the terminator as he always manages to come back bless him....thank you for all your kind posts and my thoughts are with Terence and his family who I sympathise with ...... Obviously I know uncle is not out of the woods but I had to share this positive with you ....x
