  • I hope everything is OK with you and your whole family, HH.  We haven't heard from you for a while.  Thinking of you.  Take care xx

    So sorry to hear the latest news about your BIL but staying in hospital sounds like a good idea at the moment.  It's good though that his diagnoses have been made. Let's hope some treatment will swiftly follow. According to recent  news reports people are not going for consultations etc because of the Covid-19 situation.  Sending all positive vibes to you all.

    I read the whole of your diary at one go once I discovered it LOL and 'think' I remember your mentioning that your DH's brother has prostate cancer.  Am I mixing you up with another poster, if so sorry, but if it's true how is he getting on?

    You recently mentioned that your sister who sadly died was the twin of the one in Scotland.  My twin brother died a couple of years ago.  It made me feel very vulnerable myself, probably more than it might had it been one of my other siblings who had sadly passed away IYKWIM.   There's always an extra-special bond between twins whether identical or fraternal.
    I'm very sorry about your twin brother Delichon, that's very sad. Yes there is a special bond between twins.
