Hi,
For all of you who may have had posts from Ampersand you may have noticed that she has been somewhat quiet recently?
Well, she has had to rush to a far flung place to care for a suddenly sick good friend. I had a couple of texts from her initially but heard nothing for the last few weeks until today.
She is still caring for the friend who has a blood clot on the brain and has been in and out of hospital. When out she is caring for them although her friend can be violent and aggressive but this is the nature of the illness.
I just want you to all wish her well as she has a lot to contend with including no money, no mobile phone credit and the nursing of her friend.
If anyone would like to write to her she would be delighted to hear from you - pm me and I will give you my address and I will forward on any mail.
Thank you for reading xx

she is a very selfless person. I hope she is managing ok, would you be able to keep us updated?Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
Thanks MOT.
It might be good to print out this thread once it fills with responses (as I'm sure it will)
Ampersand you are a good egg...... a real double yolker!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

Thanks for letting us know - I was wondering where she was. The board loses little of it's 'colour' without her posts. Please do let her know we are thinking of her."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250

Hi MOT,
You are a good friend also...please wish Ampersand my support with her friend. Sometimes the greatest gift is to give others our time & Ampersand is doing just that...as always.
Take care Honey,

Ampersand was so very kind and calming when I was going through my worst a few months ago so I will do whatever I can to help her. She is a very wise and interesting woman who has such a calming influence and just enjoys life despite difficult circumstances, she never appears to be down - ok she has cried her tears at times but so do we all.
You are right in that the time she gives to others is a real gift for those of us she has helped and now it her turn to receive that gift from us.
Have a good day all :AChristians Against Poverty - www.capuk.org0 -
Hi All
Thanks so much for your kind wishes and thoughts for Ampersand. As you may or may not know she was back in the country for a fleeting visit over the last 24 hours and both MOT and I had a chance to speak to her on her mobile.
I know we are all concerned for her well being and wish her our very best...and we all agree what a fantastic, wise, profound and kind lady she is..and how isolated she is at the moment.
Your messages have been a really great boost for her, thank you all, (as I'm sure you may already know....for she has posted recently...on MOT's thread).
She really does need our support (although as we know, being the lady she is, she may not come right out and ask for it
) For any of you who want to know how else we can support her or require further info, please PM either MOT or myself. But just so you all know, Ampersand is a very private lady and we all (especially MOT and myself) will continue to respect that.
Many thanks all of you
