Thanks, Kev.

Thank you again, everyone. My brother has come over from France and is staying until next week, and my sister will be coming a bit later as she herself has been poorly and couldn't come to the funeral. My son and four grandsons carried John into the chapel to the Welsh National Anthem. He would have been so proud as he never forgot his Welsh roots. I am keeping busy and getting through each day quite well. My little Evie is a Godsend and will be good company on the quiet days. I am planning to get back into my photography when all of my visitors have come and gone and will hopefully be going to my sisters in Scotland later in the year. Thank you all again. I will be back.

Thank you.

Thank you all for your messages. They mean a lot to me. It's been a hard few weeks, but I have gone into auto mode. The funeral is on the 13th of February, so after that is over, I will have to start to get back to something like normality. It's hard, but it would have been selfish of me to want to hang on to John, only for him to suffer like he did. Thank you again, friends.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, everyone. I'm sad to say that John crossed the Bridge at a few minutes past 8 am yesterday morning. It was very peaceful for him as the nurses had given him a seditive injection the night before to keep him calm and comfortable. It was a relief to know that he wouldn't have to suffer anymore pain. I have found a strength from somewhere and my kids are being very supportive. I feel like I'm in limbo, but I hope that one day, I will find some normality and be able to carry on as best as I possibly can.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. John is going downhill fast and is on a morfine drip, painkiller and the district nurses come straight out to give him a seditive injection when I ring if he needs it. The nurses and carers are all wonderful and compassionate and are also being a great support to me and the kids. The family are trying to keep the atmosphere as normal as possible for him. Thanks again.

Hi All, I just wanted to let you know why I have been missing more than usual and why i won't be posting for a while. John is very poorly and at hospital at the moment. He has had test and scans as he has been suffering a lot of pain, and his own GP is a quack and didn't send him to get it sorted before. On his second visit to the a&e I threatened to camp in the corridor until the admitted him as he had already had to home visits from the doctor.. From his first visit to his second visit three days later the infection in his blood had got far worse. A different GP got things moving and the consultant has found out that he has cancer in his groin, a mass in his chest which is going to his heart. The worst scenariois that he will only have a few weeks left, and anything extra will be a bonus. He will be coming home so we can be together, but we have to wait until a bed for downstairs etc. is sorted out. You can only imagine how I feel, but am trying to keep strong for him. He is more worried about me than himself. His choice is not to tell all of the neighbors,, so only my next door neighbor knows One of my daughters stay with me on Friday night after we got the bad news and the other one stayed last night. My two daughters are a great support and also my two oldest granddaughters. My son is upset as he can't come near us at the moment as he has ad that nasty virus and has a bad chest infect, and he doesn't want to pass it on to me or any others in the family. I hope to be back properly in time, as I know that I will have to keep myself going and will be in need of my friends.

That is so lovely, BP. Well deserved.

Whoops! Duplicated post.

I have been using Jessops for many years, in the shop and online and they have never let me down. I was expecting a parcel from 7dayshop and allowed time because of the Christmas rush. I hope it doesn't put you off using Jessops as they are usually pretty good and mistakes can be made occasionally. They still have some good deals and it would be a shame to miss out on them, especially when they are trying to keep the business going.

Hi Heather, and a Merry Christmas to both of you too.

Well done RW. I know how qyuick these little birds can be.
