What a thoughtful and moving message Dave. I hope you have a great Christmas too with your family.

That seasonal venting thread sounds like a great idea!

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the kind thoughts. Having lost both parents (my mother just after Christmas a few years ago and then my father just before Christmas last year, I fall in the position of not really enjoying the festivities like I used too whilst remembering them and the good times we used to have. Mrs B also is ina similar position losing her last brother before Christmas last year so thank you for the kind words.

I would also like to thank you for the huge support you give to people on this site which I know is so appreciated. The fact that you worked in the NHS means you have knowlege and give good sound advice which brings comforft to so many. I feel sure many people will agree with me on this.

I wish you and your family all the very best for Christmas and also for the New Year, Brian.

A Merry Christmas to all.:)

Thanks to everyone for your kind words :-)

Merry Christmas to you too 

We're all in this boat together 

Thanks Dave both for your real understanding of the emotions that surround family touched by cancer at any time of the year but especially during the Christmas period/New Year when emotions run high/low depending of personal experiences.

Wishing you peace and happiness within your own family.  For me past memories and new ones to come I hope will be getting me through. Jules x
