Thank you to lots of people…to everyone who has donated to Rosie’s charity, to Sally for the beautiful star, flowers and words ,to the friends and family who stick with us and to Rosie’s friends ,who are just wonderful. As I write this ,Holly ,Stu,Ryan Izzy and Nikki are on the coach to Amsterdam to spend Rosie’s 23rd Birthday with Jacob and Florence . I hope you all have a wonderful time and stay out of those brown cafes and dodgey shops ! ‘
Last night Declan and I went to see ‘The London Gay Men’s Chorus ‘ annual winter show ‘It’s Comin’ On Christmas . It was fabulous – happy,sad,moving,funny- it had it all.I had my favourites- both singers and songs . But the words of this Billy Joel cheesefest of a song ,really got ito my bones.
” Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you’ve been asking me
I think you know what I’ve been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight, my angel
Now it’s time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I’m rocking you to sleep
The water’s dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You’ll always be a part of me”
