This week Pippa’s treatment has come to a conclusion. The chemotherapy medication is not working against the the tumour and it is growing.
We are now going to live her dream and take Pippa to Paris. We are organising that at the moment and plan to leave as soon as possible.
The next phase is going to be about having fun and enjoying our time together as a family. Together with Pippa and her brothers, I am taking little steps, minute by minute, day by day making one decision at a time.
The support and care we have received on this journey so far has been incredible. I will continue to update this blog throughout the rest of our journey as it serves not only as a wonderful purpose of communication but also provides us with a fantastic way of recording and sharing our memories.
I have held suspicions close to my heart right through this but I have always said I will never post anything on this blog my children don’t know. They are each processing the information they received this week in their own individual way. We don’t have a lot of answers to a lot of questions, but they will come in time and I am sure Pippa will lead the way once again. In the meantime we are going to have FUN.
The concern and understanding of everyone who reads this helps us and we look forward to posting pictures of Pippa and her French dreams soon.

Dear Virginia, Pippa, James & Patrick,
Paris is “The Eiffel Tower”, and a must see for anyone who visits. Built as a temporary structure in 1889 for a World fair, it was nearly pulled down in 1909. Thankfully they left it there for Pippa and family to see, and hopefully go to the top to look over Paris. Of course there are all those other attractions mentioned by Pippa’s followers.
We wish we could be in Paris again, just to carry your bags.
Have a great trip. We look forward to seeing some pictures of your visit.
All or love,
What an amazing adventure. Make wonderful memories.
Vanessa Davie
Virginia, know that we are thinking of, and praying for, you and all your family. Stay brave and strong. Mick, Julie and family.
