These are but samples of the many fantastic events of 2012. My Dad’s recent 70th birthday allowed me to
catch up with many dear family friends and relatives, some I have not seen in years, but feel like we only
chatted yesterday. I love the stories and the laughs… and have cherished the many phone calls, messages, emails, catch ups and Facebook chats with all of my
other friends over the year, too numerous to mention here but to say thank you. Some of you successfully dodge cameras too! We are truly lucky to be able to
keep in touch. I will say this year has had many trying times where the voice on the other end of the phone or computer has been the smile I needed. My Mum made me cry this year with her Xmas card, all she
wanted for Xmas was her daughter… and I think that’s what its all about, all we want for Xmas is the love of family and friends. So wherever you are tomorrow I wish you all health, happiness and most importantly
heartfelt hugs from those nearest and dearest. Merry Xmas everyone!
