l made it,,Imade it,,,,

100 miles a day ,,10months,1week ,,minus week in mauritus and dubai,,and the very odd day,,i drove that M8,,,through snow and ice and fog and torrential rain and sun ,,not much sun may i say,,but there i was,,me and my little mini,,not always in the right lane not always in the right gear,,but on the right road.And barr catastrophes last night was the last time,,Colin should be home today,,dont know what time,,but today and that is it,,the nightmare is over,,or maybe just begun.If they ring and say Colin has a mark or infection or anything i cant do it i cant drive that M8 again,,well lets not exaggerate,,its not like me ,,but not for a while...Wooton bassett is on GMTV,,young boys coming home in wooden boxes,,it makes me sad,,at least im getting my boy home.I will run round with the hoover,,wash floors and do the marks and spencers run.Life will begin a new chapter,,its scary realy realy scary,,,but its life and we will live it,,,but last night as i pulled away fron the spinal unit i was crying,,tears of joy tears of fear,,who knows,,but i was leaving our bubble and our friends met and cried and laughed with for what felt like a life time,,our guys who gave Colin back his life,,a new life but a life and we are eternaly grateful,,too many to mention.So now a new chapter begins

  1. Charlotte, Colin and family - you are all AMAZING. No words can describe the admiration I have for the spirit you have shown through this last chapter of your life. Good luck for the next installment, although I don't think you will need luck - you have each other! Love and kindest thoughts as ever x gaynor
