"Since Gemma went I have been so moved by the support and messages I get from people on here, people I haven’t even met, yet people who care about me and what I'm going through," Simon wrote this morning. "A guy called Dan Ritchie, who I have yet to meet (but will) had seen my notes for Ethan and felt I needed some too, to encourage me and help me keep going when I feel like giving up. So he's written me a daily note too - for every single day of the coming year!"Simon announced Gemma's death in a tweet on 25 November, saying the loss had "crushed" him. "Just three days after falling ill with Acute Myloid Leukaemia, my dear wife Gemma passed away yesterday evening surrounded by her family and friends," he wrote. "If you are a prayer - pray for my boy Ethan. 8yrs, precious and in bits. Thank you."
