Families moving on

Jan 29, 2009

We have lots of families moving on from Post Pals this month – either because they are doing very well or no longer feel they need the support. We will slowly be updated their pages, but the following familes are moving on:

Alex H’s siblings, Nathan V’s sister Jessica, Abbie’s brother Jamie, Jack M, Emma C, David M, Armani M and Alex William H. Siblings of current children will also move on when they turn 16.

Thank you to everyone who has sent a smile to the families over the years, you made a big difference. If you are currently writing to one of the children above, please consider sending post to a current child in need of some smiles instead.

Nathan’s Mum sent an email to say;

I had a chat with Jess and we both think it’s time to take Nathan and Jess off the active Post Pals site. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it has been having Post Pals in our lives. You brought sunshine into what was to be Nathan’s last and unfortunately darkest last few months. The excitement of opening that huge box of Thomas balloons in his hospital room and the countless cards, letters and messages which he loved to open, will always be amongst our best memories of Nathan. He couldn’t read but he pretended to read his cards anyway because he knew they all said, ‘hope you get better soon.’ There were surprise presents too, not forgetting Chemo Duck of course.

Then after Nathan died, when Jessica became an only child again, it was Post Pals who reminded her that she wasn’t alone. Although the last two years have been unimaginably tough without Nathan, not only have you given us both amazing support, but I think the whole ethos behind Post Pals has set such a good example to Jess which she’ll be able to take forward into her adult life. Thank you doesn’t come close to how grateful we are to you all at Post Pals, but thank you anyway!

Thank you from everyone at Post Pals.
