Where we are now

For those of you who don't know, John was diagnoses with secondary lung & brain cancer earlier this year.
John's brain cancer has robbed him of his mobility. He struggles to eat or drink and has a pronounced weakness in his hands.
John is exhausted and sleeps most of the time. He has moments of lucidity which vary in length. Sometimes we see flashes of the old John.
He had a fairly restful night last night. Miriam stayed with him at the hospital. His temperature was high again, but seems to be responding to antibiotics.


As you can imagine, this is all quite heart breaking. Would anyone like to share any good stories about John? I'll start, my earliest memory is of him stomping up the stairs to tuck me in at night pretending to be a giant! Him making up a bedtime story about all the things we had done that day...
