We did our 1998 JDE expedition training together in Melbourne. (a long time ago now!)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am very good friends with Brian Schabe and worked in Brisbane for a short time. Brian let me know of your plight a little while ago and while I have been very vigilant checking your blog and progress, I have not made comment as I thought you may think "who is this"!<BR/><BR/>I just wanted you to know that I think of you often and also speak with Brian often about you. Your courage and strong will is absolutely amazing and I am sure that it will assist you in beating this. Although I cannot say that I have had to go through what you are going through now I have had times in and out of hospitals and I really am in awe of you and your positive spirit.<BR/><BR/>I do not know how you feel about speaking with someone whom you may not recall and also I understand that you probably do not feel up to it either! However, if you ever feel down and lonely and would like to chat over email about stuff please feel free to do so to me – I know that it is sometimes nice to do that. My hotmail address is kpilcik@hotmail.com<BR/><BR/>Take care in the meantime and be assured that there are lots of people out there (including me) following your progress and praying for your return to good health!<BR/><BR/>Kimberley.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884037010942084542.post-80992671061789714812007-06-16T00:35:00.000+10:002007-06-16T00:35:00.000+10:00Bernadette - long time no speak. I heard today fro...Bernadette - long time no speak. I heard today from Mia about your illness, and it was bit of an unpleasant surprise. I haven't read all your posts yet, but I can tell that whatever else has happened to your body - some things never change! Obstinate, feisty, strong-willed ... these things I remember. I also remember a great smile and sunny disposition - they seem to have survived too, despite the odds. I'll listen to this story for as long as you care to tell it, and for what it's worth, this atheist will pray to every god he knows on your behalf!<BR/>All the best to you and the family.<BR/><BR/>RicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884037010942084542.post-21861472416772609802007-06-14T23:49:00.000+10:002007-06-14T23:49:00.000+10:00Hi there Bernadette, I am friends with you Aunt Be...Hi there Bernadette, I am friends with you Aunt Bernadette and Isaac is in year one with my litte boy,Tate. I have been following your blog and am inspired by your resilience and bravery during your journey. You are often in the thoughts and hearts of lots of mums in the St Clement Danes playground and we often ask Bernadette how you are doing. Yesterday Isaac and Adam were here in the paddling pool as it was my little boys 3rd birthday having lovely splashy fun in the sun. I hope that you come to London one day soon as I would really love to meet you and your gorgeous family. I pray to Catherine McAuley for you and send you love from London, Kath Jackson xKath Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997934310565241642noreply@blogger.com
