MAR 14 Terry. If you’d asked me a year ago, and told me what would happen to me, who I would ‘holiday’ with March 2014 post spinal cord severance, who do you think I would come up with in my first, say 200 people? Well I’m pretty certain that Terry Rodham would not have figured in that list. There are those that have ‘stepped up to the mark ‘ since my injury that have stunned me with their compassion ( and there are a couple that haven’t ) , and Terry is one that has so far exceeded what I might have expected, that I don’t have the words to express myself. He’s taken 5 days out of his holiday allowance to take care of me; sure we’ve known eachother for 25 years, but I can say I think that we’d never been close. He knew me as a joker, a laugh, slightly dangerous company, but not as a soulmate for sure. We’d cycled and skied together over the years from time to time, I’d met his lovely wife, Jade, a few times, but not for example been to eachother’s weddings, or even houses… Well what a truly awesome man he is. He’s training for an Ironman Triathlon, for my charity, in September, no bloody small undertaking, and whilst here with me in Portugal is getting a bit of warm weather exercise in. At the drop of a hat, he’s always ready to assist me in anything that I need, versatile and uncomplaining. He can even cook, something that is so far off my radar that it may as well not exist at all. And he’s just the best company, at all times. Girls, if ever Jade is daft enough to chuck him, remember where you heard about him first. Terry, I salute you. MAR 14 Terry.
