Hi zara.

I'm sorry to hear your bad news. It must be a difficult and distressing time for you. I had a sort of similar situation one Christmas. A long time ago now but you don't forget these things. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I understand some of what you are going through. I know it's very hard to stay strong and positive, particularly at this time of year. I'm sure you'll find the inner strength within you to do so for your dad and your mums sake. Hope things improve soon for you and your family.
