I really, really hope this has made us all think more deeply about the true meaning of Xmas...I am sitting here crying my eyes out-for both good and bad reasons.
In October a friend of my age (29) died suddenly and tragically, leaving a bewildered little boy of 8 to cope with the fact that he has lost everything he has ever known-house, school, friends-and had to get to know a daddy he had never met.
I nominate this charity in her memory...I miss you E. xxx

The next charity I nominate because of a very special little girl, who has taught me how to live every day as if it were my last and to grab life and make it happen. Quidenham Hospice is an oasis of joy and light for children (and their families) living with terminal illness...and it IS all about living.I have nothing but praise for the amazing staff there. Each day we pray for a miracle-each day IS a miracle.
R.F. this is for you xxx
