Postpals - Samantha and Louis H

http://www.postpals.co.uk/pals/Samantha+H

Is there such a thing as a coincidence?

This week I got an email from Postpals. It said Samantha needed some extra TLC and so did her brother Lewis. It turned out her brother's name is spelled Louis. Even so .. a coincidence?

Well, it caught my eye.

Samantha is dying. In the past week she has gone from being a bright, happy, sparkly little girl just 5 years old, to a mere shadow.

I have been so moved by Samantha's story, and another coincidence? Samantha is exactly one year older than my gorgeous niece Millie whom we absolutely adore.

You may have had an email from me asking you to visit Samantha's Postpals page. And I will ask you again. Who knows how long Samantha and Louis have left together as brother and sister before Samantha's body will support her no longer?

So please please please visit Samantha's page. Send something - a postcard, a letter, a card, a gift - to Samantha and Louis. Show them you care. If you dont know what to say, say just that you are thinking of them. But at least let them know. A happy smiley face, a pretty pink princess, anything. Samantha is just 5 years old - her brother Louis is 6.

Having known about Samantha also really brings it home to you how things can change in an instant.

Ever since we set eyes on Lewis i have been mesmorised by his strength and his beauty, this road is so so not an easier but made alot better with having such special friends.

A bond as friends never to be broken, always here for you honey!!!

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), 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
