I hope you are going to put music to those lyrics ?

It reminds me a bit of the Irish rebel songs of the sixties, believe it or not the forces use to listen to them too.
Hope to hear it to music soon Love Eve

Hi Nicola

Like everyone else, I am so sorry your dad lost the battle with MM so soon. Hold onto the fact that the love we have for one another never dies, but carrries on surrounding us with its warmth and protection. This is why memories are so comforting.

Hold on to the fact that death never has the last word. We have hope for a new…[Read more]

Dear Michelle

Like everyone else i send you my heart felt sympathy. I am so glad Phil had such a dignified end and that all the family could share.

Be kind to yourself in the days ahead and take help from wherever it is offered. It is natural to be sad, and to fall to pieces from time to time.

Love and prayers for you and all the…[Read more]

Hi Carol

All best wishes and love.

Hi Guys

Luckily that is going down now I have finished my CTD but the muscle atrophy is a problem especially as I am still trying to get over my broken leg from 10 months ago and need to be exercising before…[Read more]

Hi everyone, I haven't posted on here for a while as I had been busy building up to my stem cell harvest 2 weeks ago,which then clobbered me for a week or so afterwards with just the enormity of the whole thing and the physical after-effects.Luckily my GP is good and put me on mild anti-D's to calm the nerves.
Luckily the harvest was good with a…[Read more]

I got flu and ended up with a chest infection at the end of it :-/ so off to Dr's…[Read more]
