A place to call home

Karen has now settled in to St Michaels hospice which is thankfully walking distance so yes in Harrogate, this way Eva and I can see her as much as possible.

It is an amazing peaceful and happy place, as you can imagine it is really hard for us both to go into a hospice which has the sole intent of easing the journey for people with terminal diseases. There aren't many 38 year olds around!

Karen has an incredible room, with views, great food people and support we could only have dreamed of, it truly is a special place.

We hope to get her home on Monday and make the most of any energy she has, doing normal family and couple things, we so wish we had a crystal ball so we could see that tomorrow brings enough energy for this to happen, I will hope for as much.

It seems strange to be just starting out as a couple and a family and now facing and discussing death, I don't feel angry but I will always, always feel ripped off! We have had the most amazing times, I never dreamed of such happiness. Let's all hope and pray for a miracle and that we can have a few more of those special times yet.
