Happy New Year - Chinese Year of the Pig

Hello and Happy New Year. We have just arrived back from the Chinese Church after a wonderful service, a very moving sermon and lots of lovely Chinese food!!

I didnt think we would be able to make it as Lewis had a bad night, hence so did I. He is feeling very poorly so is dosed up with calpol and nurofen and I think I know how he feels as I also have a sore throat, aching body and an erratic nose (blocked then runny!). Hopefully Lew will shake the infection off quickly and his antibiotics will help.

Jodie came with us to the Chinese Church and although it was a very new experience for her, I dont think it was a negative one! Jodie found it very good, but difficult to understand. I have found that the more time I spend with my Chinese friends, the easier it is to understand their English. And Jin Qui's English is improving all the time! Jane (Jin Qui's 4 year old daughter) went on the stage to sing a song in Chinese and everybody loved to hear her! She is very confident! Some of the other children performed, we had a piano recital, some ceilidh dancing and some singing and music. I received a new year blessing. Jin Qui's husband gave a very moving speech about Sahn and how she was on a ventilator and the doctors advised them to switch it off, and how Sahn started to move and breath for herself and what a miracle it was.

As for Lewis - well he slept through most of it!!!!!

So now we are chiling on the sofas watching Winnie the Pooh and all very tempted to have an afternoon snooze!

Happy Birthday Jodie (the other Jodie) - she is nearly 30 (haha she's 24 I think!) and it is her birthday today.

The Lewis Jeynes Fund

The Lewis Jeynes Fund was established to provide care and support to Lewis Jeynes and the success of the Fund has meant that we have also been able to purchase specialist equipment for other children with undiagnosed neurologically degenerative conditions in Doncaster and the UK.

Lewis and his friends around the UK all suffer from acute and undiagnosed life limiting or terminal conditions and very often specialist equipment is difficult to afford due to the changed circumstances at home. This is where the Fund can provide vital assistance to those in need. All of the proceeds of the Fund go straight towards helping Lewis, and other children and families like him and us.

Contributions should be sent to The Lewis Jeynes Fund, 15 Kentmere Drive, Doncaster, DN4 5FL or by BACS to Nat West Bank, “The Lewis Jeynes Fund” Account No. 35662565 Sort Code 60 06 39. You can also go into your local Nat West Bank and pay into the Fund over the counter.

i love you much (most beautiful darling) by e.e.cummings

i love you much (most beautiful darling), more than anyone on the earth and i like you better than everything in the sky -sunlight and singing welcome your coming although winter may be everywhere with such a silence and such a darkness, no one can quite begin to guess (except my life) the true time of year - and if what calls itself a world should have the luck to hear such singing (or glimpse such sunlight as will leap higher than high through gayer than gayest someone's heart at your each nearness) everyone certainly would (my most beautiful darling) believe in nothing but love
