Hello

Wordpress is good.
Our daughter used this to blog about her brain tumour journey from diagnosis until she was too ill to post.

Her sister wrote the last post.

It gave her a focus, kept family, her friends and even some medics in touch with her thoughts and feelings.

It is humorous and heartbreaking. The response comments from friends and family kept her going.
She spent 6 months in hospital, mainly during lockdown, before coming home.

Reading it now is like hearing her voice.
Good luck with your blog.
