You have spent most of your adult life bringing up the family, who are absolutely wonderful and you be pround of them all, you've got a gorgeous grandson, who is a little charmer, and a beautiful grandaughter.
You have a wonderful hubby, (don't tell him that - ur never get his head out of the door), a beautiful dog...... (couldn't leave Tess out)!
Through no fault of your own, you have been dealt with a bad set of cards, but with the strength, kindness of character, and a damm strong mind, you have faced the cancer with dignity, and even been there for all of us, - so whether it was the car, 100 cream cakes or a trip to Cuba, we (thou Cuba - you do realise you would have a lot of "carers, bag carriers and excess luggage), if anyone in this world deserves the best, and at the mo the car, that that is this wonderful lady called Taxi.

What a wonderful find - it was clearly a sign and great that you are debt free and don't need to worry about finding the money.
Rads - you are on the home straight now!
Hope you and the family have a love Christmas and here's to a fantastic 2011!
