Let’s raise a glass to our blood sisters and brothers!

[Sand-Dancer]

So here it is again

Christmas Eve and time for me to bore you with my annual festive poem 😀

It’s Christmas Eve and all is good

my life has changed a lot.

One thing, a new granddaughter

the sweetest honeypot!

I’ve met more MPN friends,

I hold them all so dear

There’s Pat and Pam & Katy,

Sally and my newest friend Maria

Let’s not forget the lovely guys

That if they were not in my life I’d miss

Ollie, Mairead, Lorraine and

and of course our Jedi Chris

Now let’s go on and give our help

to all who may be stressed -

our newbie friends and those of us

who’s news was not the best.

And at this festive time of year

Let us all raise a glass

And thank the one we ALL call friend

To the one and only Maz.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND THE BEST NEW YEAR EVER

Yes I'm raising a glass to my invisible friends, merry Xmas

Love to you and your family and totally agree with your post. We need one another, it helps so much to have folk who really DO understand what you are going through in every aspect of your life, I.e. work , family, symptoms, loneliness because of a rarer disease, etc, etc. I can't thank Maz, Nona and everyone on this forum enough, especially during the desperate times once diagnosed and coping afterwards

Bless you all. Aime xx😻😻

I'm sorry I meant to say congratulations on your new granddaughter. My grandkids and kids are 4 of the best things that happened on my life.xx Aime

Bless you Lesley for such a lovely poem and the wonderful, kind words to all of us on here, our friends. I have only just read this as I have been having a few days off and did manage to stop myself from checking emails and other stuff. Maz x x x

Haha! Me too Maz but I get ‘compelled’ to bore everyone on Christmas Eve 🤣. Hope you had a fabulous Christmas, as we did in the Peak District and a very happy new year!
