Dearest H
It is very cold here this week but have spent much of the week snuggled up in bed. I had my operation on Monday which you will be happy to know went really well. I was supposed to have it this time last year but couldnt and so am pretty relieved to be out of pain at last. I am now minus a 20mm Gall stone and the gallbladder it came from. Too much fatty food I think! Anyway apart from watching what I eat I should be fully recovered in a week or so and back to normal.
I know it has been a busy time with carol concerts and end of term and I hope you really have enjoyed this Christmas with your new friends at JCG. We always used to have a Christmas disco which I always loved as well as the choir concert. Believe it or not I had a pretty good voice then. Nowhere near your league though. I was watching the x factor and imagining you being there in the final in a few years time. You certainly have a better voice than Leon. Everytime I hear White Flag by Dido I know where you get it from and it aint me!
I know from Mummy that you are away for Christmas. I hope it is somewhere nice and you have a lovely time. If it is in England it would be really special if you would pop by. I know it is a long shot but you and Mummy are always welcome and it would be really nice for me to show you around your other home.
I still have your Christmas present from last year which I will hand to you in person one day. I did ask Mum to take it back for you last time we met in Court but she had too much to carry already. It will keep for another day as it is timeless and something I hope you will treasure for a lifetime.
This year I have not been able to get out to get you a card so have spent a little time putting some things together which I hope you will like and treasure. I know how much you love to read so have put something I once wrote in there for you. Maybe you will know me better as a result.
I have also been to Amazon and something is on its way to you which I know you will like. I remember always being disappointed by lots of my christmas presents when I was young because they were not cool or the latest thing or just not something I needed. I hope this solves that problem and you know that if I knew what was the thing you most wanted Iwould do my best to get it. That has always been the case and always will.
Wish Mummy happy Christmas from me too. I hope that she can remember the good times and be happy for the special christmas moments we all shared together. Love and joy and happiness to you both this Christmas. I will be thinking about you as always. It is our 3rd Christmas apart and almost two years since I last saw you. My heartfelt wish is that will soon end and whatever is stopping us being there for each other is resolved in 2008.
Love and big big hugs LNBH
