I am astounded by your eloquence and raging at the injustice. A more considered response will probably land on your doorstep in a day or two but until then I’m sending love and strength to you and your Sarah. She will make a fine deckchair xxxx

Beautifully written. Do you like writing? Keep creating.

My mother-in-law was a non-smoking teacher with lung cancer. She always put it down to the smoke in the staff rooms. I can easily imagine them in the 70s. Not unlike my dad’s bathroom. Sorry, that’s not an image anyone needs.

I love you. Keep on trucking and loving. Xxx
