Hi All,
We went to visit Susan first & she looked realy well & i gave her lots of hugs & Kisses from everyone & told her everyone is thinking of her & Alan.
Well after a natter with Susan. We went to visit Alan in hospital & he is in a realy nice room & was so pleased to see us all & i gave him a big hug & a kiss from you all also. He said how nice that you all are sending him wishes etc.
He was watching the tennis & also chatting to us & was drinking his juice & then told us he ate 3 tubs of ice-cream so thats good.
Well just after 9pm we decided to leave him in peace as he was getting very tired. As we was saying bye he wanted another hug & thanked us again for travelling all the way to spend time to come & see him & also to take care of Susan.
We told him we would drop everything to come up & see him & Susan as they are very close to us all & are very good friends.
Anyway we will try & post again when we go to visit him again on Sunday.0 -
Susan, I first came across your thread over 2 years ago after being made redundant. All you 2 had to worry about back then was dealing with your debts and your mam.
Over the last couple of years, I have followed the pair of you as Alan made a good go of trading at a bootfair and I truly believed he may have found a way to make a living doing something he enjoyed.
This was soon turned on it's head with the sad news of Alan's cancer.
Now, Alan only has a month to live and I feel so disgusted with myself that in the month I had off I could not find the time in my self-centred existence to actually come and meet the pair of you.
One thing I can assure you both is that my thoughts are very much with the pair of you at this moment. I also promise to check-in at least once every 2 days for progress reports.Never Knowingly Understood.

That was such an uplifting post Steve and thankyou for the update. I know how much you, Andy and Kit mean to Susan & Alan and I just know that your visit will be full of laughter and smiles....through all the sadness that is just what is needed:D:A:A:A
Make sure that Alan knows that we are all here for Susan too...they are a very special couple. I know that some people say this is `just the internet` but I bet any one of us would be there in a shot if there was anything we could do to help.
Give them both a hug from me too...and also to Kit too who is an angel xx:A
Lots of love, Angiexx0
