Dear Mavis thankyou for your kind words, you always seem to say just the right thing If I do the jig I will get a pic on here Be warned it would not be pretty though!! love Bridget x

Dear Min my thoughts too will be with you today love and hugs Bridget x

Dear Bridget

I do hope they arrnge the RT for very soon and that it really does the trick. I am glad you are so positive about it. I just feel so cross you are in so much pain – it seems indecent in 2011 that we can't get on top of it.

You are one special lady! Hold in there and look forward to the dancing!!

Much love.

Hi Min

Just to let you know that I too will be thinking of you and praying for you and the family later today. I do hope that Peter's service will bring you some comfort and the hope that this world is not all there is and that death does not have the final word.

Much love.
