  3. The plumber who just left. My pump in the basement was making a noise, he was down there less than a minute, the noise stopped, he handed me a tube of oil and waved off offer of payment.

  5. I would like to thank all the little ol' ladies who stop me in stores just to tell me my walker's handles are too high or too low, hence my looking like a question mark. I don't have the heart to tell them it's just my lousy posture.

  7. I would like to thank my siblings for being completely amazing through this last year. It has been hell but we have pulled together and like Winston Churchill said "when you are going through hell keep going". I am very lucky to have them.

  11. My father-in-law, who passed away early last week at age 81. He was a gentle, quiet man who generally went along with whatever my mother-in-law wanted. He was buried yesterday in a plain, pine box, without benefit of a minister and only his wife, children and most of his 6 grandchildren present. I was... stunned. But he'd have been fine with it, and I thank him for that kind of influence.

  13. My friend Imed from Tunisia. He has always been there for me, through thick and thin, even when I swore I didn't need help. Today he took me out for lunch to celebrate my 60th birthday (24 September and I spent it in Sicily). As we walked in he told the restaurant owner it was my birthday!!!! So at the end of the lunch they brought over wonderful Lebanese sweets on the house and wished me a happy birthday. I was too embarrassed to say "oh it was on 24 September" but he said "hey, I'm taking you to lunch for your birthday so what". But all that aside, he has always been there for me through thick and thin (through the beatings from my ex) and wasn't afraid to give me a metaphorical kick up the butt when I needed it. Good man Imed!

  14. Thank you, John, for choosing to Go Gently rather than any other way, and for being the gentle soul that you are. And thanks to my Guardian Angel when I broke only my right ankle on Saturday when I stepped on a black kitten on the stairs, lost my balance and fell with my right leg twisted under me. Imagine what could have happened! The dear kitty is fine because my old reflexes worked and I pulled my left foot away in time so that my full weight didn't come down on her!

  16. I want to thank my hubby of almost thirty years. I had Achilles' tendon surgery in August. It failed in September. I had a second surgery almost three weeks ago. I've been in a cast or boot, on a knee scooter, since August 3rd, and I have been less than fun to live with. I thank him for 1) sticking around and 2) taking such good care of me.

  21. The man who sat next to me on the bus back from Yarmouth and chatted with me all the way. We talked about the football match he was on his way to see, the mates he was going to meet, the pub and then we talked about what I had been doing in Yarmouth. We continued with snippets about football and property and then parted company when the bus pulled into the station. Made for a very pleasant journey on the substitute bus for train.

  22. My husband, for helping me understand and live with my mental illness. His patience, kindness and humour make life worth living. He shines a light in the darkest moments, and I adore him. Plus, his nose goes up and down like a camel when he chews! x

  26. Lots of people. Including but not limited to the people in the blogosphere who share their lives with me.

  27. All the teachers in the land who are gearing up for their protest marches on Saturday. They're only asking for a 10% pay rise and yet they have to take to the streets to be heard. They're worth every single penny that they earn (and yes, I know that every other public sector worker in the land deserve their payrises too).

  28. Lots of people who have helped me get through the months since my dearest farmer died - all my friends here, my family, my blogging friends and especially you John - your e mails through David's terrible illness, your offer of a phone call any time of the day or night - you will never know how much I valued it. Now I am on the mend and it grieves me that you are suffering and I can't do much to help and support you except send positive thoughts.

  34. My husband, Doug, for loving me and for helping me through my late husband Max's years in care with dementia. (We were introduced just after his wife had died and Max had gone into care and got married 7 months after Max died). I never expected a second chance at life.

  37. My father in law. I met him when I was 23 and I have adored him ever since. He never deferentiated between myself and his children. When my husband first left my in laws where there to support me. I would walk over hot coals for him. He is a gentle gentleman.

  38. My new doctor, whom I just met today. She's friendly, and that's always a plus.

  39. I'm thankful for my doctor before my current one. He was only here for two years, but he was so kind and competent, which I can't say for the two before that. He was the first to tell me to always to carry my fast-acting astham inhaler, which I hadn't been doing because I'd never really needed it - I had some bronchial trouble for a year or so and it seemed to mostly go away. I wasn't even going to ask to have the prescription renewed, but he insisted. Yesterday at work we had plasterers in and they were sanding and creating a fine dust. I reacted badly to it after only a brief time and left, but needed to use my inhaler. I was so glad to have it.

  47. I'd like to thank the incredible staff of the NHS who always went the extra mile to make the last nine months bearable. Last week my husband passed away peacefully, at home with me beside him, thanks to the NHS who made it possible. He had Glioblastoma Multiforme and in that time endured three brain surgeries, two bouts of sepsis, meningitis, neutropenia and a fractured vertebra, six weeks of daily chemo and radio and six hospitalisations. I am thankful he was in my life for 40 years

  48. Well I'm back with my Consultant today so I certainly do feel I should be thanking her and her wonderful NHS team. Without them I'd be well on my way to the exit door now. And in addition John I'd like to thank you as always for being a good friend. We've been through some times - good and not so good - together!
