It's the day before Ellie's birthday - she would be 15 tomorrow.
We miss her so much, and think about her constantly.
A while ago someone asked me if I would ever go to see a medium/clairvoyant/psychic. I said no, because I would be going to hear about Ellie, and if I didn't, then I would be upset.
This morning I was supposed to be doing jobs around the house whilst Phoebe was at school, but Phil was running late so I gave him a lift into town for his driving theory test.

I worked for 17 years in a bank until I left to have my youngest. She was born with a cleft lip and palate and research into helping her communicate led me to buying a franchise for TinyTalk, baby sign language classes. Ellie was a big part of that - coming to classes when she was on chemo; she loved helping out. I pressed pause on the business in August 2008 to become Ellie's full time carer.
Whilst I was at the bank I was the regional charity fund raising organiser - so when Ellie asked to raise funds to 'give something back' I had an idea where to start. She had a natural flair for it - and together we have helped to raise over £25 000, starting in June 2007 when local people raised £4000 in one night for us to have a family holiday.
I am extremely proud of all my children, and my family; how they all handled Ellie's illness.
And very proud to be Jason's wife. Through all of this he has been my rock.
