Stewart ...back. Having been one of many who greeted you first time round - a year past last August - I remember your intention to visit Brenda in Cyprus until illness intervened. Since then, she has moved to Israel ... and again, your plans were forestalled - due, on this occasion, to Brenda being unwell.
Fortunately you've kept in regular touch throughout, your cancer is at least in remission [hopefully cured] and you're now fit enough to travel to Israel next week.
My advice is for the two of you to make up for lost time by getting to know one another really well.Only then, will you be in a position to guage where your future together lies. Do please, consider very carefully, the full implications involved if you were to choose to settle in the Philippines should (God forbid!) your health decline for any reason. At the age of 56, it's worth bearing in mind that hospital treatment abroad is extremely expensive ... whereas here in the UK there's our world-renowned NHS to fall back on - even in the worst-case scenario.
