    Thank you so much Graham, Arthur, Terpe, Doc Alan, Mick, Michael Harry T and Keith for all of your best wishes, advice and kindness. Also a big thank you for the anonymous rep I received!

    I've already written my supporting letter with compassionate plea and I've made good headway with the general visitors visa applications but they can't be submitted until 3 months before the intended trip. I'll let you know how the applications go

    In the meantime, my brother's teeth are badly decaying and breaking as he can't clean them and won't let anyone help. He was supposed to be admitted to hospital for numerous extractions under a general anaesthetic following a dental referral nearly 12 months ago but has been lost in the system yet again I have of course made a complaint which has now expedited the matter. Sadly, he is likely to end up with very few teeth left .........

    Short Term Visitors Visa applications now submitted for my nephews and they have their biometric/ document submission appointments next week. Fingers crossed the applications will be approved

    Coincidentally, Rosie ... I'd recently been thinking about your nephews' visas and welcome the opportunity of wishing each of them ALL THE BEST with their respective applications. Godspeed!

    Hi Mick ...... thank you so much for asking, yes, they have. He had 6 out under a general and a deep clean/ fillings. He's now able to eat and even brushing them occasionally so that's a good improvement

    What a story!
    What a Sister!



    (I finished reading the story about 20 minutes ago. I realised I had to do something very important before I made this post. I had to phone my own Sister.)

    Good luck with the Visas (waiting for decisions is agony)
    God Bless you and all your family.

    Thank you so much John and also for the rep (if it was you that sent it) . Family is so so important, we should all value and look out for each other but sadly many don't.

    I'm glad that you phoned your sister, well done!

    Yes, good luck with the visa applications, very pleased the teeth are out and he is able to eat better. Do you need another brother Rosie ? what a lucky guy your brother is to have you looking out for him, is your middle name Angel...

    Firstly, thank you so much to Simon, Lordna and HarryT for your kind words and good wishes

    I am delighted to let you all know that my two nephews short term visitors visas to the UK have been APPROVED!!

    Flights have been booked and they will be arriving at Christmas time! It will be a VERY emotional time for everyone, least of all my brother who will no doubt be very confused and shocked but I will do everything I can to help them all

    Looks like it's destined to be both memorable and busy this Christmas.

    Hope you enjoy this special time.

    It was my brother's birthday today and I always visit him on his special day. I was able to take him out for a meal at lunchtime. He struggled to sit still for long, also to unwrap the presents I'd bought for him but I know he was in a good mood as he actually asked me two questions! That really made my day as it very rarely happens!

    God bless him

    Good to learn you'd a nice meal with your brother today, Rosie ... I'm sure that, despite his restlessness when sitting for lengthy periods and, even though there was little verbal contact between the two of you, it's obviously made his birthday all the more special, ... the very fact that his loving sister (with whom he has such a close bond) was there to share it with him. God Bless.
