Christmas Greetings from the South West UK.

[Peter3]

To you all coping with PSP, caring for a loved one or maybe have cared for someone with psp may I wish you a peaceful and happy Christmas.

This time of the year with dark, cold evenings, (for those of us in the Northern hemisphere) gives one a chance to reflect on the previous 12 months and for us it has been quite a challenge in many ways. Sadly for some it is a time of the first Christmas without a loved one. Which ever situation you are in, let's celebrate life and memories we all have of previous Christmas's and the year we are about to leave. May 2014 be a year of care, love and support each and everyone of us needs.

With love.

Peter3

[JudyJ in reply to peterjones]

You are UNFORGETTABLE, Mr. Jones; You are a remarkable warm, kind, supportive and funny man who's support, knowledge, and sage advice carried me thru those first many confusing and distressing months after my diagnoses. Complete strangers in person we may be, but not in spirit. You own a piece of my heart and nothing can or will change that, forever and ever. And it still fills me with tenderness and a feeling of '...awe...' that you watch out over me. You've made such a positive difference in my life. My love and well wishes to you and your family during this holiday season and beyond.

Love 'ya, Mr. Jones.

Peter3,

What a wonderfully well worded email, I think you have captured perfectly what everyone really wants to say to each other but probably can't find the words as eloquently as you.

I'm in the first year of finding out my dearly beloved father has PSP, I won't deny I and the rest of my family, including of course my father, are still getting our heads around this news, and it's a minefield to say the least.

I have taken great comfort already in reading everybody's daily messages.

I wish everyone on this blog my heartfelt good wishes, and please remember we are all hear to support each other.

Peter3, sincere thanks for your lovely message x x x
