Thank you so much

All the stars are coming out tonight, they're lighting up the sky tonight, for you, for you.
Take That

Don't give up, 'cos you have friends.
Peter Gabriel

The last few weeks have been really, really difficult.
But without the incredible support that we have received from our wonderful friends and family, they would have been nigh on impossible.

We've received so many messages of love, prayers and strength and it's really helped us to bear the strain - we know we're not alone in this.

And because of the crazy way that communication works these days we've been getting messages from FaceBook, text, Wordfeud, What's App, voice mail, email (work and personal), to both me and Jules - a virtual stream of love coming at us from everywhere.

We even got a couple of actual get well soon cards!

And it is from all over - not just our amazing close friends and family (you know who you are and how much your amazingness means to us both now and as the future unfolds) but also the friends, friends of friends, and friends of friends of friends - often people that we don't know and that had never heard of us before and are now praying for Little S - our synagogue community, our friends' communities - in London, Manchester, Brighton, Israel, America - sending us messages of support, parcels of food and prayers and hopes for better news.

  • Tehillim groups here, in Israel and around the world.
  • Synagogues saying special prayers for Little S.
  • Delivery after delivery of food, sustaining us for weeks to come.
  • Psalms and prayers said by friends before their regular poker game - guys you made me so proud to be called your friend.
  • Messages from school mates that we haven't seen for a long, long time.

A friend of my mum told her the other day that she was praying for a very poorly little girl with a failing heart and it turned out that she was praying for Little S without even realising!

All so so amazing.

All genuinely making it a little bit easier to cope.

Bless you all.
