With a small tear running down my cheek, I sit here in disbelief at the journey your entire family has been on. I know you through Imogen, of course, but feel blessed and privileged to read these words and become closer to you. You are so generous to share your feelings and story and at the same time you are inspiring. Your writing is beautiful and carries such true emotion, care and warmth. You are a remarkable man with a remarkable lady and we all can learn from the grace, fight and courage that you both show. Sending all my love. Graham
George, we don’t know each other, and it’s been years since I saw Imogen in person, but I have always considered her a friend. I have been following her, her journey with cancer and reading the words of yours she shared on Instagram. I have just found my way to this substack and wanted to thank you for your words here, your generosity in sharing them with people and the honest, brutal beauty of them. Of all the words I could use to describe Imogen and how she has faced all of this, the one that keeps offering itself, is grace. I hope you are able to take some comfort in the knowledge that you and she have affected so many of us, and in ways you may not even realise. Sending love and light to you, Imogen and the children, Becky xxx
Hello Becky - thank you for following Imogen’s journey, reading these words and taking the time to get in touch. I greatly appreciate your recollections of Imogen and the way you describe grace. It’s the perfect way to describe how she has navigated the last two years. Which is ironic given that she would be the first person to admit she wasn’t the most naturally graceful person in the world… I’m grateful to you for the love and the light. It is much needed. x

Even if you didn't say it every day she knew it. Sending you both my love, thinking of you and holding you both and your children in my heart.
Thank you Ushi. I think she did too. X
