Earliest flight is Wednesday, so hubby is taking that and daughter and I will follow on a few days later - unless it all happens sooner than that, then we all fly out together.

Both my hubby's boss and my boss have been fabulouus with offers of rides to the airport etc.

Probably won't be around to much in the next couple of weeks. So I'll see you all soon.
So sorry about your news, hope it goes to plan take care

god bless sue

Piff, so sorry to hear your news.

My condolances to you and your family, maybe ask your daughter if she wants to open the card straight away, perhaps she would rather save opening the card until the shock of the news has worn off.

Sending virtual hugs

Sharon
