When we had Thomas' diagnosis (when he was 6 years old) it was hard to imagine being happy ever again but in fact, Thomas and Anna have taken us on an amazing and wonderful journey, our children can teach us so many things! I wonder what music could have accompanied Thomas' Olympic Torch run?

It was such a relief that it all went so well. <br /><br />Thanks for all the advice; you are right, I haven't been very careful to reduce the size of the pictures I've used. I expect I will do a combination of upgrade and using smaller images in the future. I do have some photo editing software on my computer - is that what you do or is there another way to reduce the file size?Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08701059256337022749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120715866587921870.post-79535233843244906942012-07-23T14:30:27.600-07:002012-07-23T14:30:27.600-07:00Ann, you are very perceptive!

But he was so taken with the joy of it all, that he was able to relax completely and delight in the whole experience. Thanks for the advice, as you say £3 isn't much so I'll try to get it sorted soon.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08701059256337022749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120715866587921870.post-53617272594299628842012-07-23T14:17:03.104-07:002012-07-23T14:17:03.104-07:00Thank you Judy, glad you liked seeing the pictures...Thank you Judy, glad you liked seeing the pictures.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08701059256337022749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120715866587921870.post-73163859835738129702012-07-23T14:15:56.252-07:002012-07-23T14:15:56.252-07:00Rita, thanks for you kind wishes; it is lovely to ...Rita, thanks for you kind wishes; it is lovely to know you were thinking of us and that the photographs helped you to see it.
