Carole

This is just to let you know that I'm unlikely to be doing much on Pbase for a while as my beloved wife, Carole, has just been diagnosed with leukaemia (APML). As you can imagine, this has turned our world upside down! However, I'm happy to say that her chances are good and she is in excellent hands, but it's likely to take 6 months or more to beat the illness. Needless to say, it's Carole's recovery that will be my top priority over the course of the coming months and that means being at the hospital every day for at least the next 4 weeks ~ which is going to knock a huge hole in Pbase time!

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all.
