On Sept 3 2016 after having 3 months of many doctors appointments I rang for an ambulance to rush Andrew to hospital. Just 62 days later he passed. Only 30yrs old. His death certificate said Mastestic Adenocarcinoma from Colon (Stage 4 Bowel Cancer) #misdiagnosis #latediagnosis
🎵"We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough"🎵
Song "My love. From what film?
🎵"I woke and you were there
Beside me in the night
You touched me and calmed my fear
Turned darkness into light
I woke and saw you there
Beside me as before
My heart leapt to find you near
To feel you close once more
To feel your love once more"🎵
National Sons Day is observed annually on September 28 (and also recognized on March 4) to appreciate and celebrate sons. Many parents and families also use this day—or dedicated remembrance dates—to honor and remember sons who have passed away.❤️
Ten years ago today, my son stricken with cancer married his sweetheart from his hospice bed. They reduced his medication so he could say his vows cleary. A brave lad who can never be forgotten. They were man and wife for 8 days until death did they part. So sad.❤️💔🥲
🎵"You by my side, that's how I see us
I close my eyes, and I can see us
We're on our way to say I do
My secret dreams have all come true
I see the church, I see the people
Your folks and mine happy and smiling
And I can hear sweet voices singing
Ave Maria"🎵

I think the fact that 65% return the kit is a good indicator as to why we opt out rather than opt in.
Bowel Cancer is a particularly unpleasant way to go and is often treatable, caught early enough.
The NHS costs us £21 million per hour, so in the grand scheme of things the unreturned kits arena drop in the ocean.

Hadar Hoshen was brutally murdered by Hamas on the morning of October 7 while trying to flee the music festival.
Ten days later, she was identified through DNA testing.
We will never forget.
In a busy supermarket car park yesterday, someone tried to park between the two whte lines to the emergency exit, scratching side of my daughters car. Culprit found parked further away and now an insurance job. Some drivers.

SHE COULD HAVE GONE HOME. INSTEAD, SHE STAYED TO SAVE OTHERS.
Yulia Vakser Daunov from Be'er Sheva ended her shift at the Nova Music Festival on October 7th at 6 AM.
As Yulia began heading home, the rockets came blasting out of Gaza. Yulia turned around to make sure she could help the people at the Nova.
Under heavy fire, she kept police commanders informed, reporting casualties, sending locations, describing the terrorists, and urgently requesting reinforcements.
She was 37 years old and had two children to care for at home, but as she said in the voice message to her mother: "Mom, I have more than 2,000 people to get out of here."
Yulia was one of 15 police officers who helped evacuate more than 2,500 festivalgoers.
As she fought to save the young people at the Nova, she sent her husband, Samuel, a final message: "Take care of the children. I love you."
Yulia was murdered by Hamas terrorists. Her family waited 11 days for official confirmation of her death.
We will never forget her courage and the many lives she saved.
May her memory be a blessing.
Anyone remember this song
🎵"Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said"🎵

We have access to more knowledge than humanity ever has, but wisdom still seems to elude most of us!

Maya Goren was a beloved 56-year-old kindergarten teacher from Kibbutz Nir Oz who was murdered during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, and had her body abducted to the Gaza Strip
Maya originally moved to Kibbutz Nir Oz from Ramat Gan to build a life with her husband, Avner Goren. For decades, she worked within the kibbutz's education system, dedicating her time, heart, and energy to local families. She was known for always volunteering her own free time to support parents and had even served as a nanny for infant Kfir Bibas, the youngest hostage abducted on October 7
After 293 days, Maya’s body was recovered from Gaza and returned to Israel on July 24, 2024. She was laid to rest in Nir Oz beside Avner.
May her memory be a blessing.

It’s the Palestinian flag and the keffiyeh at the centre of violence again in Paris. Is anyone getting it yet?

Eli Sharabi hasn't spoke to his daughter since October 7th
Nearly 1113 days without hearing her voice
No "good nights" or "I love you" for nearly three years.
Why?
Because Hamas killed his daughter Yahel.
Yahel — a Jewish Israeli teen — was only 13 when Hamas attacked💔
