With a family the size of Phil's — two brothers, two sisters and twelve children between them — there's always something happening, and 2005 has been no exception. There have been causes for celebration — Dad's 70th Birthday and Sandra's Graduation, in the photos on the right — and causes for concern.
In particular, amongst the nephews and nieces, please pray for:
Andrew, who has Crohn’s Disease and has been in and out of hospital with operations and complications this year. It’s been very painful for him and stressful for the rest of the family.
Ben, gone to live with his dad in Edinburgh.
Claire, in her final year at University.
John, in his first year of Nurse Training.
There's much more, of course, that we haven't mentioned. If you're a family member reading this and you're feeling missed out, please
there's plenty of space for more news.
