Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, the hugs and the prayers
(and especially any virtual chocolate! - It will be a clear sign what a shock this has been if I tell you I'm not even really eating real chocolate, my appetite is so affected. It's downright unfair that I don't seem to be losing any weight. My brother lost half a stone in five days!)
May I reiterate that I'm not incommunicado so if you have my email address and want to use it, please do. Phoning maybe isn't that effective as I'm rather difficult to get hold of - the phone's buzzing full time). Half the time my world's in pieces, half the time it's simply surreal as I'm used to him not being at home while he's at school and it just feels quite ordinary. Today holds another step towards it becoming more real...or possibly less so.
And no, we're not afraid to enjoy the fun bits or to laugh through the hard bits, any more than we're afraid to cry. There are just so many funny stories I could tell you if I could. (I can tell you that I told him this may be the making of him - after all, in the last two weeks he's read more books than he's ever read in his life, and written more letters too!)
But your love and prayers and support for us all are invaluable. You lot are fantastic!
