As I type, Lydia is with Jane. Leo and I will go up later. There is little more I can say for now.
God bless you.

Sunday 27th February
5.30pm. I have been with Jane most of the day. I stayed with her whilst she was being washed and turned (to relieve pressure points) by the nurses. They are as gentle as they can be but I am now much more aware of how immobile Jane has become, how weak she is and how physically reduced. She has been asleep most of the day but has eaten some porridge, drunk some juice through a straw and took a cup of custard. I feed Jane the custard with a teaspoon. She seems to know instinctively when the spoon is at her lips (she doesn't open her eyes) and she guides the spoon back out of her mouth with her fingers - this is the most intimate act we share now - much more than the affectionate peck on the cheek that I give her from time to time. It's just very special.

Thank you, Peter - your honesty and generosity in sharing these thoughts with us all is astounding.
We are thinking of you all - all the time - and pray for your peace and strength.

Peter, how special to be able to feed someone you love so tenderly, it is indeed an intimate act, reminiscent of the feeding of each other wedding cake on that special and memorable day.
Give Jane a kiss for me, a gentle peck and know that you are loved here by all of us. We continue to lift you up in prayer as we go about our gentle Sunday.
All our love, Vivienne, Larry, Ian, Simon, Paris and Malia.xx
Special and intimate times come in many different packages. God bless you Peter xxxx
thinking of you all, and sending Chupick love.xoxo
