Since my last post where I totally indulged myself with Jaja's BBC TV appearance I have been inundated with requests as to how he coped in his Science GCSE and what was the final result? Well, I shall divulge all but not right now because there is something else I wish to share with you about how wonderful and glorious our children truly are and to prove this point I am going to post a letter I found that Jaja had sent out, independently by way of helping our book Dreams accomplish our dream of making that one million for St Mary's. So without further ado here goes, prepare to be amazed and dazzled...

Dear Mr Grant
I almost began by addressing you as
‘Dear Hugh’ sorry, but you seem so approachable.
My name is Jaja Lloyd Thompson and I was born in 1999 to parents who underwent 12 years on IVF
treatment to have me and it doesn’t get any better than that, I feel utterly
cherished and adored! Not only did they
spend 144 months dreaming of having me but they also went on to lose two
businesses and ultimately became bankrupt!
They’re a pretty awesome pair as their ability to stay positive is
totally phenomenal! I am extremely proud
of them hence my letter.
Mum and Dad wrote a book about their
journey to try and inspire others and they also wished to donate the proceeds
to the Hospital who created me. Pretty
cool! I know they wrote it from the
heart and I also know they had never attempted anything quite like this before,
they overcame many obstacles finding a publisher as unknown authors but they
did, and again I was really proud.
My parents totally adore you, I can’t
count how many times I have watched your films over and over and when you took
on the tabloids in 2012 they were glued to the TV and were in awe of your
strength and resolve.
I know that millions of people watch
feel-good ‘chick flicks’ and that the majority of these films are fictional, so
I write to you as I believe someone as dynamic as you could create a movie from
my mum and dad’s book, (which I hasten to
add has some extremely funny as well as poignant moments), and I also
believe it would inspire many people to realise that life really is just a
journey and that you can stay happy no matter the circumstances, Mum and Dad
held it together no matter what.
I have therefore enclosed a copy of
their book, please read it, I know it is grammatically incorrect throughout but
I just know with your abilities you would be able to sprinkle your magic (Mum's words) and
create a blockbuster of a movie which would blow my parents away and would
inspire everyone who watched it, it is a true love story and the best bit is, they
are still in love! It would also prove
to them that I do actually listen. You
could inject life into it and with your creativity and the use of artistic
licence you could spearhead Dreams Do Come True to infinity therefore creating
the much needed funding for this worthwhile cause. I wouldn’t be here without the miracle that
is IVF!! And I’ve gone on to make Deputy
Head Boy at my school. I believe
everyone should have the right to be parents if that’s their desire because
parents who would put them through what Mum and Dad went through make the
world’s best parents – take it from me.
Please help me, I am that picture of
the embryo on the book cover and I grew into the 15 year old boy who had the
balls and bottle to write to a superstar with utter hope in his heart. Can you help make my dream of making my
parents dream a reality?
Mum and Dad have no idea I have
written to you, but if I can pull this off then I will have proved that
anything is possible and everything is achievable.
Yours with much gratitude
Jaja L. Thompson
PS:
Here’s a few links, my Dad’s blog
The
amazon link to the book
WOW! now that's what I call amazing support, once again thank you Jaja.
And for those who wished to know his result... drum roll please ... HE ACHIEVED AN 'A' ... so again well done J for never letting yourself down, we are so so proud of you every minute of every day.
What are your children secretly planning behind your back!!!!
Adios amigos with much love Trudie xxx
