-- When I spoke to Prue this morning she told me that she has more of the same funny poems and things, and she promised to give them to me when she gets out of hospital!I can't wait - because she has a huge collection of wonderfully written poetry and jokes, etc.
We spend time reading these funny things to one another - to keep us smiling when we feel like crying.
Glad you liked this one!
