Wednesday.
I had a letter from the hospice yesterday. The opening sentence is :-
A thank you like Angela's inspires us all.
But we urgently need funds to provide Hospice at Home care for more families like hers.
Her is what Angela wrote. Please read it.
Dear Emma and all the team at Cotswold care.
My daughter Vicky died two weeks ago today and I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you for all the wonderful help you brought her in her last few days. The support you provided was incredible and it really took the pressure off during our most difficult time.
Vicky was nervous at first having someone other than me look after her through the night, but you must have known the right person to to send because her nurse Lyn had the same sense of humour and fun as Vicky. They hit it off together straight away.
It helped Vicky knowing that I was being supported too. She knew I could snatch a few hours sleep and recharge the batteries, and in her last few days we could concentrate on being a family again.
I can't imagine vicky's month without you. I'm so grateful that your team was there and that the Hospice is still there now to help me through.
There aren't really words to let you know how much I appreciate that. You've all been amazing. Thank you.

Vicky was 26 and diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer shortly after giving birth to a son, Spencer, Vicky was a lively ,bubbly young woman loved by everyone she met. As you can imagine the family were hit hard. Vicky was more upset that her son would be left without a mother than her own condition. Angela was doing all she could to help her dying daughter. Cotswold Care Hospice stepped in to help and offer support.
The Care at Home Service the Hospice offers is very expensive to run. They cover a very large area and are desperately short of funds for this service.
I'm asking you all to please help again. I will be on duty for the Solstice Walk as I was last year, that is on 20th of next month and I will be at the Hospice all day to help wherever I can.

Strewth - was it summink I said........ I say morning and half of them *** off!! Last time I was in a driverless car was in Hornsea, East Yorkshire, back in the 60s on a fair ride - just next to the helter skelter opposite the bingo where my mam used to park her bum............. On the insurance front, my eldest added me as a named driver and his premium dropped a couple of hundred quid - I've never driven his car (and don't intend to - I do have some standards lol) - and he's 38!!
DT - I can go off people, you know - I cover approx. 25k miles a year - clean licence - 2 very minor scrapes - 1 a bumper kiss when an old biddy pulled up at a junction when there was absolutely nothing else on the road - except me. I'm sure she was one of the crash for cash fraudsters...... and the other was when I clipped a wing mirror.
Morning all xx. Donation done online boaty - these places do an amazing job. Unfortunately have known 3 quite young people (aged 5-42) who have passed away in hospices, but their families found them worth their weight. In gold.
Hope everyone well today. My son has an interview for an IT Apprenticeship today at a telecommunications company. It's been a very intense application process so far, but he really wants to do this more than college in September, so i have all my fingers crossed! Xx
