Winstons wish

I wanted to include this site on my blog.
I am so impressed with the mummy diaries and the families involved that I am going to take the advice on board and create a box for each of my children.
It is going to be hard but seeing these brave, courageous families face up to what is devastating news makes me want to put it in place.

I do need to speak to my youngest son the most as my older children (especially my daughter who was sat beside me when I was told I had 6-9 months) have been involved by coming to appointments with me and supporting me when I feel down although we never talk about the situation as I am unsure of how to approach it.
My youngest son is also autistic which makes it harder to explain in a language he understands.
All in all they are wonderful children and I don’t know how they feel as we don’t talk about it.
I don’t want to keep bringing up the fact that I am dying. It is something I hate talking/thinking about as I break down and cry every time. I don’t want to pull them down and be on a misery mission. I want to live and to be posistive. Having Theo (my cancer) has changed my world.
I do my best to keep things as normal as possible and if not talking about it is going to help then, that is what I will do. I have ordered my memory boxes, one for each child and will fill them with thoughts and memories that my children can look at when ever they want to.
This is a wonderful service and I am sure that Winstons wish will benefit from the documentary.
