Dear Paddy and Megan Thank you for each of your emails. Lindy was going to come and stay with us in Whakatane during one of her visits to NZ. She was so welcome. We looked forward to supporting each other for the interlude in the Gawler fashion. My own young daughter carries the burden of the perilous tightrope I walk with my health. It is tough going working towards understanding acceptance and hopefully peace for both of us. Megan I hope that you have that peace that your mum would have wanted so dearly for you. Megan our heartfelt sympathy to you and to your family.
