8 years ago yesterday Christopher was diagnosed. I could almost recount every minute of that day in detail - it's etched in my memory forever.

8 years ago today we spent all day waiting for an operation that never happened. It was cancelled 3 times. It was an horrendous day - starving him, trying to pacify him, waiting for them to come and collect him only to have it called off at the last minute. He was so poorly and we could see him deteriorating.

He finally went to theatre at 9am on 31st March and had an 8 hour operation. He came round really quickly and you'd never have believed what he had just endured.

I miss him so much.
