My dear Tricia, I am so sorry to hear your news, and understand completely how overwhelmed you must be feeling, especially having lost your mum so recently too. I’m sure Christmas was difficult too… I pray you had family and friends to support you. I wish the same for you now, and I do hope you will find comfort in reading the book. At least they know what it is, and you are being treated so you are on your way to recovery. Stay strong, and please do keep in touch with me here, Love Ali xx

Dear Linda, lovely to hear that you had a good Christmas, and I hope you are able to rest and recharge over New Year! I’m loath to take my Christmas tree down it’s been so pretty this year, but I will have to do it either tonight or tomorrow morning. Thank you for your kind wishes and I hope 2020 will be a happy and healthy year for you. Thank you for your support here on the blog, love Ali xx

Happy New Year Rose! Thank you for your lovely comments and I’m delighted to know that you also have a grandchild who keeps you smiling and feeling young! Honey is an absolute sweetheart and I love being a part of her life. I look forward to hearing more from you this year, and I hope 2020 will be a good one for you. Love Ali XX

Hi Martin, I’m glad that your card arrived, and yes I did receive yours too. I hope that you had some time off over Christmas and I wish you and your family a Very Happy New Year. Love Ali xx

Dear Sue, happy New Year to you and thank you for your sweet message. I hope you enjoyed Christmas – we did and spent it with his many family members as possible. It was different without mum, and sad at times, but we made the best of it. Thank you for all your support this last year and here’s hoping 2020 will be a good one for you, love Ali xx

Dear Gail, thank you for your lovely comment and I hope that you and your family enjoyed your Christmas together. I love the sound of your little dogs – they all become part of the family to don’t they! We had Bear Bear, Mitten and Diesel here together at one point which was a bit of a menagerie! I do remember you asking about Karen, and I made a comment at the bottom of the blog that week. It is heartbreaking to hear her news, but wonderful to hear her so positive. Thank you for adding your message to ours. Here’s hoping that 2020 will be a good year for you, and one where you will be able to keep in touch with me here on the blog. With love, Ali XX

Dear Sue, happy New Year to you, and thank you for your lovely comment here on the blog. It was hard without mum this year, but we saw as many as a family as possible and enjoyed our time together. I’m sorry that you don’t see as much of Charlie anymore. It’s the same story with honey who started full-time school last September. I was only able to go to her nativity play because Lucy had to work, and the other ticket was for her dad. Loving Charlies game where he was Father Christmas – I hope you all enjoyed your time together over the holiday. I am very sorry to know about your friend who lost her husband so close to Christmas. Any time is devastating but it’s just the anniversary that makes it harder. I wish you every happiness in 2020, I look forward to hearing from you again here on the blog. Thank you for your support over this last year, love Ali xx
