You will think me a little dim but bear with me. Today I sent out an email to my friends and colleagues telling them about my diagnoses and upcoming surgery. My computer and phone have been dinging all afternoon as people have reached out to me. I simply wasn’t expecting such an overwhelming response. I could cry with the depth of my gratitude for every kind word, encouraging reminders of my strengths and your own pain at learning the news.

From the very depth of my heart, thank you for holding us tight. V xx
