This is Alison Lawrence's sister here and I'm just popping in with a message for Miss C. AJ mentioned this forum and at the weekend I googled in a fit of curiosity, found you and read this thread. So I have joined to post you this message...
The week after M died, AJ mentioned that they wanted the scooter(s) to go where they would make a difference. She asked me if I knew of anyone (I work in the disability field and have a number of disabled friends and colleagues), but there was no-one I thought appropriate. The subject came up again in Dyserth last Tuesday evening but I still had no-one in mind. We left it that the person it was "meant" for would turn up sooner or later, and preferably sooner.
After her conversation with you, Miss C, at the gate on Wednesday afternoon she told us that she thought you should have it and, as you know from Garfield, we all agreed that this sounded good. It was discussed again late that evening with mention that you would be returning to try it out and AJ mentioned it again the next day while we were having coffee. We said how pleased we were that the right person had been found.
It is clear that you are the person meant to have it, and it is particularly good to hear that it will change your life. So while you are saying that you feel "humbled and somewhat privileged", we in turn feel grateful that the right person emerged easily and so obviously, and that the scooter that made such a difference to M has found a good home where it will continue to make a difference in someone's life.
