Hi Sis,

Good t get the updates. Sounds like it is very emotional but you are getting loads out of it. Glad you are enjoying it despite everything - sure you are all making a difference though.

I have just planted my spuds up top for the year as growing my own this year under advise from your dad ! Will be well under way by time you get back and you won't have to wait too long for some new potato pie !

Keep on enjoying and getting lots out of it.

Love K&K

huuuuum.. just re-read it, its to late now... that first bit makes no sense, but i hope you get what i was tryin to say! :-) xx

Oh my days..... you are possibily one of the most emotional people i know, for example you cry watching soaps or sumfin... to be doing and seein what you are and keeping it together and being strong for the mamas is asutely incredible.. if i havnt said it before i will say it again... you are absolutely amazin!!!! to have dealt with that lady with the twins musthav been absolutely heart braking and i know its not somethin i could of dealt with...!!! you are soooooooo incredible and i love you lots and i am so proud.!!! i imagine everything you are doing is so rewarding even tho in cases you have lost lives to have felt you tried help in somewhere and even the hugs you are giving when they are needed are something they perhas wudnt get from the nurses that work there all the time... so somehting that might seem small like a hug is giving them comfort..... you are AMAZIN!!

i am missing my amazin buddy quite a bit..... but to read how much fun you are having i am so happy for you!! i wanna join you, but not in the hospitals!!

*hug* thats a cyber hug for you for being so strong and incredible and amazing ad purley coz i am missing my buddy!!

love you lots.... stay safe and keep writing coz all your post are great!! thy really are i never knew you could write like this! you shud write a book!!

any who... love you Steph xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

(p.s just before i post, i havnt re-read this so i hope it makes sense)

(pp.s going for tea at the Dilworth house hold next week, need to ring Norms today to arrnage it, think Martin is coming along too.. im sure the entire night will be spent talking about you lol.... and i will be loving it!! - your a star)
