Sad News

Hi everyone. I'm really sorry that I considered not even posting this here on my blog. 

And then I thought: I'm known many of you for ten years: first with my 'My Life and Vegetables' blog, and then with this one.  I've made firm frienships through my blog.  I've learnt new skills and shared my progress in the crafting world with many of you and you deserve the truth.

The fact is, 6 months before I would have been declared fully cured and cancer free, it seems cancer has done the sneaky and it is now in my liver.  As such it is unfixable.  I'm hoping to go on a trial that may slow it down but there is no cure.

My children and husband are, as you can imagine, really upset.  I feel so guilty for being the one responsible for breaking their hearts.  I only found out on Thursday and on Friday I had my funeral planned.  I'm busy transfering everything over into my husband's name and all I can say is that dying is very overated.  Seriously, is there really a need for so much red tape?

We are trying to focus on a day at a time and making continuous 'new normals'...quite difficult when you consider I probably wasn't that normal to begin with.

So, well, that is the news.

I'm going to be closing the business soon so I can spend what time I have left with my amazing family.  Thank you for being part of my journey...it's been a blast right?

  3. I want to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you, to you.... When I joined the blogging world you welcomed me and I am so happy to call you a friend. But you have been much much more than that to me, you have been words of wisdom when I really needed it, you have been a rock when I have been really low... But most of all you gave me courage and determination to go on. Making me smile through all the tough bits that have gone on with all my health concerns. I adore you and your friendship... I was so upset to hear your news... I have loved stitching your designs and loved our chats.... I feel honoured to of been a part of your journey. Love to you and your family.... Enjoy every last minute xxx
    A parting smile 😊 for your onward journey :) xx

  14. Gaynor, I immediately thought of Winston Churchill. "Never, never, never, give up." I will next say, my husband's uncle had cancer in his liver less than five years ago and was told he had extremely small chances of living. He had surgery, AND MASSIVE PRAYERS FROM FAMILY AND CHURCHES. He lives! The doctors themselves declared it a miracle. They did. I am praying for you!

  36. I'm so way behind on blog reading what with a holiday and then a little excursion.
    There I was sitting looking out to sea, a green bench and a bag of chips from French's thinking of you, I was thinking to myself what a lovely friend I had made and how strange through technology and the internet we'd shared our love of this little bit of Norfolk coastline. You are never far from my thoughts when I wander along the sea front.

    I'll be praying for a little miracle and sending {{hugest of hugs}}
    Blessings to you and your family xxxxx

  40. During the last fifty years a need to reduce the rate of occupational accidents and diseases, and to address the economic burden that arises from workplace accidents and diseases onto the tax payer through the externalization of costs, has forced the organization of the national infrastructure to support employers to fulfill their legal obligation in health and safety at work. This was to a large extent guided by the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions. The ILO Occupational Safety and Health Convention, No 155 (13) and its Recommendation, No 164 (14), provide for the adoption of a national occupational safety and... turmeric and ginger health benefits

  46. A new healthcare paradigm that focuses on health promotion rather than treating medical conditions after symptoms appear requires a new language. The term "medical home" put forth in the current Affordable Care Act does not support a changing health reform paradigm. The term "health hub" reflects more accurately the focus and intention of the Act, which is reducing cost through earlier health assessment and coordinating care. Buy Klonopin online
