Dear George, I went to see Nye last night, it is at the National, it was long and there was a full house. I was there by chance, as someone else could not go; I would not have been there ordinarily…For some reason, throughout the entire performance, it felt like a part of you two .. a theatre event, a show punctuated by heart beats, a story of an important life, the evolution of the NHS - and all it did (and did not do) for Imogen in these last two years.. I am so grateful of your sharing; I feel there is so much love, wisdom, and a deep deep understanding of yourselves and surrounds, but my goodness I hope someone can also find their own strength to help hold you steady on the other side of this bridge .. all my love to you all in every moment; I genuinely can’t think of Camilla without her decorated bicycle, big smile and her surrogate birthing partner status ..

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings Jo and for receiving these messages and all that have come before with such compassion and support.

It’s been reassuring to have you in our corner.

I can’t speak for anyone else but in some ways these words have helped me experience this process with a reason to understand better what is happening and how it feels and in so doing be as close to Imogen as possible for as long as I can be.

I have no idea what’s to come but for now I take strength from being at her side.

Evening Dear George,

I saw Joey D today & she told me about these writings. Their an honour to read & an honour to Imogen... A glimpse inside the darkest moments but also inside the brightness of your lives together.

Im holding our new daughter on the sofa, Nova (10 weeks), a new star… to match Imogen’s. I watched Nova fall asleep - eyes blinking slowly then at last softly shut - I only needed 20 seconds of being alive to see that moment. What a gift that is to see your kids fall asleep. Fondest love to you, Imogen & your family. We are all thinking of you. Nathan x
