Our amazing Dad, Brother and Son peacefully passed away in the early hours of this morning.

Dad was surrounded by those he loved. We are all grateful for all the support you gave him, he fought incredibly hard as he always did and each of you filled him with hope. Our Dad had a beautiful soul and he was overwhelmed with all the support and we believe you all gave him great comfort from the beginning.

Our Dad always laughed and joked and would want to be celebrated. Please, where you can, enjoy a happy memory and a toast for him.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

**** POSITIVE AND MINUS ****

POSITIVE:
This will be full of positives that we have for you.
The week this week has been full of diffident ups and domes which with will support you.
So: positives is that I have concentrated on what’s happening. I have had a WHOLE week at home which I can’t miss missed so there’s life updates.

NEGATIVES:
Mood has been VERY low 😭 😭 this week. James has been checking out his sample instruments a lot so I’ve had a lot of loneliness and sampling of medical.
Please remember much of this might be ‘maybe’ too but no one knows.
SO - amazing having medical on its way.
😢 prescribing not working each day.
😃 short day boost of medication
😢 medical not working
😢 turns out I have a wheelchair
😢 turns out I had cancer
😢 turns out I will have to ‘MAYBE’ get full time came care 😔 😞 😢

Anyway, there’s part of the update. Thanks all for the update but I will probably be in for in for another week update.

Thank you all. Please check the update and will update what I remember.

**** UPDATE ****

Hi everyone this weekend.
😢 😔 😞 SADLY I’m being kept in a second week which indicates it’s pretty serious as this work gets done during the week but I’m not allowed home for at least another week.

I have been kept in for with others to soo me. I have had family to see me -Thank you ❤️ 🥰 this week but it’s been very difficult this week.

FIRST:
I’ve lost a lot of my balitity this week.
* I can not undunderstand all writing words.
* I can not understand all memory.
* I can’t read basic English
* I can’t recall or have memory about anything that cares for me.

FINALLY IMPORTANT:
* I have developed epilepsy in my brain this week where it’s so subtle and knocks me out approximately 20 mins at a time. Would love you to ask about it.

Thanks for ALL support. PLEASE PLEASE keep it going. I will respond in the method thad I can manage.

Can I give the biggest thank you to my Primary teachers who have ever held. Great and the most lovely support to my Secondary and Primary teachers all those years ago at Milnes High and Primary. TAG YOUR SELVES PLEASE.

‘Hello, It was nice to see you recently at fringe by the sea. I just wanted to let you know L*** and her sisters were raising money to go towards your treatment today with their lemonade stall on our street. They raised £177 which I’ll pop on your go fund me page ❤️
I’m sorry to hear you are in hospital. Hopefully you will start to feel better soon and can go home. I passed on your kind words to the girls that you called them super stars and they were delighted. Rest up and I’m sure we will see you out and about soon 😊’

THANKYOU for £177 from all the families.
