@"Beryl C. I remember coming out of hospital on 22nd Dec '17. Walking very gingerly & clutching my pink pillow for comfort. The 2 hr drive home was uncomfortable but so nice to be home. I was struggling to do anything, my hubbie doing everything for me. As Christmas day approached, i wondered what to do as both our families are in Adelaide, 2 hrs away. I chose to go as we had planned pre-cancer so the long journey begun with me still clutching my pink pillow. To be around my family was important as they had given me so much love & support during the last month. I guess I wanted & needed to be around those who had gotten me through. Like you, it is a time of wonderful memories of how supportive & loving a family can be. xx
