About me

Hi,I am Josie's mother and also mother to Freddie 16, Libby 13 and Charlie who is two.
Josie is my eldest and died in Feb 2007 when she was just 16.

She had Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and her battle of 2 1/2 years & two Bone marrow transplants sadly was not enough to save her.

We could never find a complete match for her BMT and although Charlie was 100% match for a stem cell transplant there was not enough from his cord collection to use so we were heartbroken to learn that we had to use a second unrelated donnor.

Josie had 11 wonderful months with her little brother Charlie who was without question, sent to us with a great purpose and keeps us all smiling.

We miss Josie like crazy,but she left us with a mission and that was to carry on her charity work to help the children & teenagers with Cancer that she was leaving behind.
This has helped me personally as I still feel very close to Josie being so involved in her charity work and I get to talk about her or do something for her every day.The pain never goes away but knowing that Josie's life was full of meaning and touched the world in such an amazing way is a great comfort.

You can find out about the huge impact Josie's story had on people by googling Josie Grove

and are trying to make the most of their last days on earth.

I have a list of folks I know...
all written in a book,
And every now and then...
I go and take a look.
That is when I realize
these names...they are a part,
not of the book they're written in...
but taken from the heart.
For each Name stands for someone...
who has crossed my path sometime,
and in that meeting they have become...
the reason and the rhyme
Although it sounds fantastic...
for me to make this claim,
I really am composed...
of each remembered name.
Although you're not aware...
of any special link,
just knowing you, has shaped my life...
more than you could think.
So please don't think my greeting...
as just a mere routine,
your name was not...
forgotten in between.
For when I send a greeting...
that is addressed to you,
it is because you're on the list...
of folks I'm indebted to.
So whether I have known you...
for many days or few,
in some ways you have a part...
in shaping things I do.
I am but a total...
of many folks I've met,
you are a friend I would prefer...
never to forget.
Thank you for being my friend!
my love and thoughts are with you jacqui xx
