Kent Thodsen 30 October Rejoicing in Devapriya I am sitting on the train going South from London having just visited you DP at the Whittington hospital. As I am sitting here I cannot but help reflect on the impact you have had on my life as well as that of my family. When we first came to the family friendly retreat almost ten years ago our family was on the brink of breaking up but through what we experienced during that first week we managed to find a new direction in life. You have ever since been an inspiration and a guide with your ability to see the positive without ignoring the negative. The countless number of gems and seeds that you have planted in my mind are still growing and continue to guide me through the minefield called life. Last night as I told Natasha that I was going to London to see you DP she reminded me of our first retreat at Teddy's farm when you found a small blue plastic ring on the ground and gave it to her - she still has it on her shelf of special things (she was not even three at the time). This is just one of many examples of how you have touched people's lives with your presence and generosity. A big thank you for not just the family friendly but also to your contribution to our lives in Lewes. Kent, Kate, Natasha & Casper
