As no one will know me let me introduce myself, I am Rab Valentine's wife. Rab was so touched this morning to receive so many replies to his blog, Sadly he is not well and it breaks my heart to see him like this, my big strong husband. I will be n touch with you all again. Diana

Hi Diana

Thats so good of you to put a photo of rabbi, he has been so strong on here, and has such sense of humour, i think we are all touched by his kind words of comfort, hope the hospice is now making him comfortable. Thinking of you all take care.

Hi Diana, thank you for posting and the great pic. I have found so much help and kindness from the community on this site. Rab's energy and support helped me on our rocky road when we were floundering. Sending love and togetherness to you and Rab and the family. All my best wishes, and virtual hugs Katherine xxx

So sorry to hear Rab is not well, he advised me when I was facing a lobectomy and has been a strong possitive presence on this site, good luck for the future

Hi Diane

So very thoughtful of you to post such a lovely photo of Rab on the site when you are going through a very difficult time in your lives. I am sure he is getting the best possible care in the Hospice and a big support to you and your family. My thoughts are with you all, such a caring man, so strong in what he knew was the right thing to do. He was much appreciated and thought of in this site. Take care.

Hi Diane

Thank you for taking the time to drop us all a line. I imagine lots of us have been wondering how he is after his post the other day. I'm sure you will pass on our love and warmest wishes. The photo you posted was lovely and I'm sure it brightened up the day for lots of us. My own husband lost his fight a little over 6 months ago but I get comfort from reading about others who have done well. It always makes me incredibly sad when this awful disease seems to be getting the better of one of our 'family' Sending much love to you, Rab and your family xx

Thank you all so very much for getting back to me, now I appreciate why Rab loved being in contact with all his friends on this page. Rab has been very tired today. I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts yesterday that I didn't pass on my best wishes to everyone. I will let you know how things are with my lovely Rab. Take care, Diana x
