Wisdom

I'm glad this isn't a spoken blog. You wouldn't understand what i'd have to say today.
My tongue is sore, swollen and would probably be more at home in some species of amphibian.
This is one of the effects of chemo, and i thought i'd got away without it.

This side-effect thing is a bit like a lucky-dip. What's its going to be tomorrow?
Sore palms? Gritty eyes? BRING IT ON

Not really. If truth be told, while yesterday was a step forward, today was depressing in more ways than one.

Still, there is always a silver lining to look for with each day, and today's belongs to Max.
He's 3 next month, is a little dynamo and is making groundbreaking discoveries all the time.

Today's was "Mummy? Girls don't have willies... they have only dresses!!"

  1. Hello lovely Pete,
    You are incredible. We have always known what a wonderful guy you are but were you as amazing and positive and faith filled as you are now? To be so uncomfortable and fed up but to write in the way you do and be so outward looking is just so inspirational. The numbers of people whose lives you are touching and affecting must be enormous. All love, thoughts and prayers to and for you and your lovely wife and boys. The Dubreuils xxxxx
