Ambra, people never cease to amaze me - the empathy and compassion of strangers; the thickheaded selfishness of relatives. I had a relative say to me they just wouldn't know what to say to my brother after he was diagnosed so just didn't ring - this was after me dropping some mighty big hints. My brother has expressed disappointment at the lack of contact from some people, but was profoundly comforted by the regular contact of others he might not have expected to do so, like a friend of mine who rang regularly, but who he'd never had a great deal to with him previously. There are a LOT of people thinking of you here. xx
