“But even if we don’t clap next Thursday it won’t diminish my eternal thanks to all in the #nhs .
“They are keeping Derek alive and everyone of them is fighting as hard as Derek is to give us the chance to be reunited.
NHS bravery
“Hope has to keep us all going doesn’t it ? I am having to find new ways of staying strong everyday for Darcey & Billy, as I know Derek would want me to.
“It’s not easy. But when I think of how hard Derek is fighting and the bravery of all in the #nhs it helps.”
