At the other end of life, I was diagnosed with brain cancer not long after starting my degree with the Open University. I’ve also outlived my prognosis and wondered whether there is any point in spending all this time learning. But like Neve, learning gives me pleasure. I’m glad you found a way for Neve to enjoy your time together. I hope you have many happy memories. Best wishes to you and your family.
I so pleased to hear that learning also gives you pleasure. I hope you have space to do it for as long as you want to. Thank you for your kind words about Neve. x
Thank you! There are some images that I have had my eye on for a while, to paint. Neve in the hospital, on the laptop, was one of them. As was her and her teacher from the back. I also remember the moment and how connected they were. It was lovely. x
That is a particularly beautiful picture. You have managed to catch the sense of connection perfectly. I don't know why but I always love pictures from the back.
Thanks, Emily - community is so crucial! Love the colourful paintings.
Such important principles Emily. Thank you 💚
Thank you for reading and for commenting, it means a lot. x
Very interesting thanks
Excellent post. Much food for thought. Thank you Emily.
Thank you for sharing Neve's journey and her love for school and studying, no matter what.
