Tina’s rules of engagement with the bugs

This is how Kial thinks.

Each night, write in your journal 2 good things about the day, it will help
you sleep.
A support system has concentric circles. Kial is in the centre. If ripples
occur in outer circles, look inwards & stay focused.
Children need boundaries to stay happy and balanced. Maintaining them
is important for their wellbeing.
In quiet moments feed Kial’s brain.
Remember stress affects the immune system. So does laughter.
Your rest and relaxation are an essential part of Kial’s recovery.
Always remember that your husband has very good kisses.
I had a best friend. We met when we went out with twins in the early 80’s. She
circled back into my life when Kial was diagnosed and scripted the above, gluing
the rules into the front of a diary she asked me to keep when Kial first made it into
remission, post diagnosis with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. I hope our lives
connect again but I haven’t seen her since she visited when Gabriel, our youngest
was born.
