Just got word from Italy that my sister-in-law Maria Teresa has a hole in her heart and has to have an operation to fix it, mr ffiondove has just lost his Mother (last Oct) after years of heart trouble and also his father died of a heart attack.....mr ffiondove himself had a heart attack in 1996 and now has 4 metal things called stents in his arteries, so naturally this news has hit him hard and he is handling it in his usual way ......by overworking. We are off to Italy on the 16th and we will see her then...she is only 44yrs old, I know I can depend on all your good wishes, I am posting a picture of Maria Teresa, it was taken when we were all together on holiday this year.


Thats Carlo her husband of 18 yrs with her.

Thanks Bee, yes she's lovely and a really nice person too, she is a PE teacher and she takes 2 aerobics classes a week to earn a bit extra....makes you wonder what you have to do to stay healthy.

My thoughts are with you all.

I was thinking about Mr Ffiondove's Mum last night at church and wondering how long ago it was that she died. I can't believe it is 12 months! So that means we've known eachother just over a year then.

I think we became friends just before I went to Italy in Aug of last year.
I was thinking about you today, I wanted to see what you thought about something that happened yesterday, bearing in mind we received this news about my siser-in-law this morning.
Hubby and I were driving back from Ikea last evening and he said "How is your friend?" I said "What friend?" He said "Oh no! I think I had a dream!" his face was quite white and he pulled over on to a grass verge....I was worried I can tell you! He said when he had asked me about my friend he instantly felt sick and realised he was remembering a dream he had where I had told him someone was *very ill indeed and not expected to live much longer* he was struggling to remember the dream to see who the person was but she was faceless.....hes had experiences like this before just before his parents died and its freaking him out today, I'm trying to stay positive. Sorry if this sounds like babble but thats how it came out.
Thanks very much for your good wishes.

Thanks Sam.

A great big hug to you and your family. That's so sad. Somehow it's harder to take when the person is so young and fit.

Glad you'll be able to see her when you go down there next week. I hope everything turns out all right.

Thanks Susie, you are right it does seem worse when its someone young and she really does take care of herself too.

Thinking of you all- a difficult time for everyone.

I hope everything goes well for your sister-in-law. Sending good wishes to you and mr ffiondove and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear this, ffion. She so young and seemingly healthy. I'll pray that the surgery goes well, with no complications, and that she'll be in good health soon.

I'm sure that the fact that she is so athletic and in shape will speed her recovery.

Hugs to your entire family.

Oh, hon, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll be crossing everything crossable that she'll be OK. She's just beautiful (they're a beautiful couple, in fact), and clearly takes good care of herself. That has to be on her side when undergoing surgery.
