How wonderful that you have that journal entry. But more than that, how wonderful that you are still a role model for gratefulness. I will always admire you Gaynor – my neighbour of long ago in Burnage.

Oh Gaye, this blog has made me weep buckets. Not just tears of despair about what happened 32 years ago, but also happy tears at the joy you find in everything. And sentimental tears reading the Art Garfunkel song. I just want to say that you WERE brilliant as Guinevere, I know!! And your recovery is brilliant and everything you do today is brilliant. You are my inspiration on days when I am feeling sorry for myself, or when life seems a little grey. You are my brilliant friend and I love you to the moon and back.

Dearest Gaye,

As always, a beautiful, heartfelt written blog! I am so proud of you! Words have such power and strength and you use them well. I hope that your lunch today was a perfect “full stop” to this day in celebrating life.

Love and big, life-giving hugs, Sue. xx

Dearest Gaynor – what an extraordinary life you have had up to this day! To read of your hopes and despite your nerves at knowing you’ve not even had a tech rehearsal – your absolute fearlessness at seizing this opportunity. That sums up the kind of person you are and with or without you knowing it, you are an inspiration to so many people – friends, family and complete strangers alike.
I remember being totally devastated that day when Carrie called me to tell me the news. I was doing panto in Exeter in SW England at the time and could do nothing but pray for you. I flew over the day after we finished to be with you and your family. I remember I wanted to propose to you – my delightful innocent love for you was suddenly and abruptly shaken into the reality that I’d nearly lost you forever. I remember you gently letting me down – you had moved on and had so much more to deal with as you fought your way back to life! I even celebrated my 30th birthday with you and your family – I’d forgotten it!
That you have so much love for life and gratitude for each and every day – is both a wonder and a blessing!
Take care of yourself. My love to you and your mum, always.
Merry Christmas!
David

I love your ongoing positive attitude towards life. When I think I have challenges and obstacles to navigate I must remind myself that human nature can overcome most of what is placed in front of oneself. Thanks for the blog, it’s always a joy to receive.
