Tomorrow is day one of the next 6 weeks – the start of Pippa’s first part of her treatment plan and before we begin I would like to thank everyone for their support, concern and care. (As a post script from an earlier blog, we have been fortunate to obtain an apartment in a great location and are very grateful to those who have helped with this.)
Many times in the past month, I have expressed in conversation how genuinely overwhelmed and amazed I am by people throughout this tumultuous journey that my family has found ourselves in.
I have to use the word “people” as we have received messages, gifts, kindness, help and support from near and far; friends old, new & rekindled; friends of friends; and people we have simply never even met before. I honestly call each and every person our friend and I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for their incredible generosity. I did shed tears tonight when it became very apparent to me that words of thanks are merely not enough for the support my family has received.
Very early on in the piece Pippa described this month as really being “Christmas in July”. In what should be such a dull time I sincerely thank you all for bringing her joy and light. We have packed for our journey a huge suitcase full or all sorts or interesting activities, books and games. Nothing has been left behind and it will be her own “Pandora’s Box” to open each day. I am looking forward to her and I spending some lovely hours creating some wonderful memories using all these beautiful things.
She’s tucked up into bed after special cuddles and chats with her brothers.
I’m as ready as I can be……….

Virginia,
I am a friend of Brydie Colquhoun’s & I will be giving her a pin which is an ANGEL. She is named the “Angel of Good Health. I got this for my father who unfortunatley spent 4weeks in an ICU ward a few years ago. I had it blessed & I pinned this to his gown & he had it with him till he walked out of that hospital. I now want Pipparea to have it through her journey. A lot of tears were shed & eventually joy. I now wish this for you all.
My thoughts are with you.
Liz.
