"And it's that strength that I have sought all the days, when I get up for work.

"Monitor your battle from afar, it wasn't what I wanted and if I could I would be twenty four hours by your side giving you all the love, affection and strength for you to get out of this, but unfortunately my job does not allow me.

"It's being challenging, but with faith in God everything will be fine and come back as it was before, because seeing you smile makes me happy and comfort my heart, let me quiet.

"Get well soon non."
