Thanks for your thoughts and prayers everyone. Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Steve's dad sadly passed away on the 1st of November. Steve was with him at the time. He had battled melanoma for many, many years and when he had heard it had spread to other parts of his body and spine he pretty much had had enough. He'd accepted it and thankfully steve got to spend almost a week with him before he passed away. He's now at peace, which we are all grateful for.

On a happier note, Steve has now returned to work. He's doing fantastic and the smile on his face at the end of each day when he comes home is just wonderful. He is back at HBO and surgery is on Monday. Then 10 more HBO dives and we can hopefully move on with life again. It's amazing how much we are looking forward to going back to 3 monthly check ups. Anyway I will keep you all posted on how surgery goes on Monday. Take care everyone xo
