So many Thank You's to say... and more to come!

So many people have rallied around Husband and I at this time, by giving us their time, their prayers, their love, coming to keep me company, cheering us up, even cooking for us!! I don't normally use names in my blog postings, but this time I have to....

My parents, my brother and sister-in-law, my sister and brother-in-law, my nieces and my nephews. The support, the medical advice and assistance from brother, sister-in-law and brother-in-law (all of whom are doctors!), the help, the company, the chicken soup (for Husband, made by my Mum), the errands run by my sis to pick up a never ending supply of ribena, orange juice et al. The sheer comfort of knowing that this amazing family of mine is there for us!

Our friends who keep us in their prayers, and in their hearts - Suja, Liz, Beena (all three of whom came to spend time with me at various times!); Hwee Peng (who came with us to KL on our last trip, so she could help cheer us up, which she did!); Gigi; TonyO (thank you for that absolutely gorgeous photo, we will treasure it!); Koshu (who also helped to find out where we could get the colostomy bag/base in SG); Indu, Anita, Sid, Tim (all 4 of whom came to see us and spend time with us in SG); Cathy (from Capgemini, the best boss ever, who gave me the time needed without ever putting pressure on me, but who took a lot of pressure on herself to give me that time); Ben & Christine (who have been keeping in regular touch with us from Netherlands and Scotland); Jason (Husbands son, who has been cheering his father up with regular, and cheeky, emails); Kevin (Husband's best friend, who is coming over to KL in April to give us what support he can); Jan & Geoff, Molly, Efy & Sianny, Poh Moi, Hadar & Oren, Annie (from Numonyx), TT, Fay, Rini, Joanna, Budy, Dinesh & Sharanya, Jean-Louis, Mike M, Yulstar, Hari, Keen; Philip, Jessie, Ruku, Mercy J (who brought her hairdresser over to our house in PJ so Husband could have his hair cut), Kasturi, Helen from Oracle Malaysia; Connie, our amazing helper; Erik and Bilal from Capgemini NL; Joy & Laura, Shanti & Mammen (who cooked enough for an army and brought the food to me all the way from Changi to Jurong), Grace C & Mo (who also cooked enough for an army and brought it over to us by TAXI); Michael O; Oskar, and Robyn from PetroProd who helped me to sort out Husband's paperwork for tax, etc; Jonathan & Jodi; Jacqui & Sean; Steve & Jackie; Ram, Marina and Rashidah from Capgemini SG; the team from AMS IBM Singapore - especially Phyllis, Janet, Sandeep, Audrey, Ben, Cherries, Lian Sang...

I am sure I have left out so many names too - but that is only forgetfulness on my part, not lack of love on yours. Thank you all, for everything, and I hope one day to be able to show you how much we both appreciate all of this.

Till next update (after 19th March), have a good life, stay safe, stay well.
