Well what do I say…it’s 8.30am and Liz is sitting up in bed enjoying a coffee and waiting for the district nurse to come and mix up her cocktail for the next 24 hours. As you can imagine Liz continues to confound us all, including herself, in the way in which she continues to keep on going. When awake she is aware and lucid. Some days are better than others but generally she has good days. Has the occasional breakthrough pain but this is well managed so she isn’t uncomfortable for long. She continues to sleep soundly and when awake has very few demands – which are always followed by ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. She is such a gracious, humble woman – a pleasure and a privilege to share this time with her.
As time moves on I now have to do some work so I try to spend most afternoons on that while people sit with Liz. So far it is a good routine. Thank you all for your wonderful contributions of time and food. I don’t think I have ever eaten such a wonderful variety of meals so beautifully prepared. It is very helpful to have the meals provided as I can now divide my time usefully between Liz and work stuff. Thank you all very much. Love Lynn

Well Lizzie, you truly are a legend. Your keeping on just reflects that strong inner strength. Our thoughts are with you and Lynn constantly. Mum says hello and hopes you are keeping as well as possible. Watered mum's garden for her yesterday when in Kaikoura and noticed the roses were in full bloom again. A bit like you Lizzie I guess, they just keep on keeping on Lots and lots of love to you both xxxx
