Jez,
Your amazing story continues. I wanted to say "journey", but refuse to employ X Factor Judge vocabulary.
The blog, is honest, direct and compelling, which is exactly what I would expect from you. I vividly remember visiting you in hospital after the first op. and being amazed at your physical and mental resilience - nothing has chnged in those respects.
Seriously though, when are you going to stop sodding about and buy me that drink you promised 6 months ago?
"Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts".

Subject: miss you!

Every sentence that you have written in this blog as been incredible! You're not only a credit to yourself but also to the millions of people that have been touched by cancer.
You're skill in writing is one the best I have seen in such a long time! I'm so proud of you Jezza!!

Anyway, work is crap without you! We all miss you so much! Bev is lovely, but she doesn't have the same presence as you! No crazy jackets to laugh about, and no huge smiles either! Back on world vision uplift Friday, can't help but laugh when I think of my offer to sit under your desk for the same money!
You jez, are a legend!

Rest up, be good, keep safe and smile :)

Big love,
Langers xx

I am so pleased you are on the mend, cannot keep a good man down (they tried with anaesthetic !).
This is a big step technically for me but thought I should try.
Not as witty as your pals but that's just me.
Keep up the good work

Mate, had I not known you know you're a mentalist, I'd say you mentalist! Truly inspirational stuff here and we deffo need more people in this world with a set of jewels. People, even I, have good old moan about a cold or flu.. This just puts all that in perspective. We all know you're way too mental and positive for all of these challenges you have now, so it's just a question of time bud, smash that ops granny in and get back on your feet. The world need you back in the streets.

Hey Jezza
I just read your update & it's emotional stuff. I feel a bit like you as my eyes started to water!
Loving the updates & no doubt it's helpful for you to be writing your thoughts, keeping us all informed & fully supporting you throughout this time.
Reading the messages everyone has written to you is heart warming. You are a very loved man & it's great to know you have such support. I believe love is the most powerful healer & I'm sure the support you have from all of us is going to help your speedy recovery.
I looking forward to the Halloween photo update,

Minnie Riperton - just one of the many ways you've made me smile :)

Poppz, you truly are one of the most beautiful people I have been lucky enough to have as part of my life.

I've really enjoyed this (rare) glimpse inside your head - genuine, really interesting and at times, a bit difficult to read for those of us who love you.

I'll do my best to look after Mamma this week and can't wait to come and see you on the mend XxXxX

It has been a long time since the last Sunday Sermon, enjoy... I find myself home alone for a short while. Fi and the boys have attended a faaamily birthday event, I'm still too hanging/rough/full of self pity to endure a day of social pleasantries. I used to recover so much faster than this. 5...

What a day..! Today is the gateway to the fulfilment of my inner peace.
