Jumping For Joy - Jadazzle Are Finally Reunited

Jan and Daz are so so happy 
United are Jadazzle 
Many months have passed
Poetry writing has been put on hold
It's been over a year... but we 
Never gave up believing we would write together 
Good times are just around the corner

Friendship oh so strong
Overt faith in each other
Radiating from united hearts

Joyous in our reunion
Optimism will be our byword
Yesterday is but a memory

12th August 2015

This is our first poem in about 14 months - writing together again was a dream that has finally come true - Jadazzle are well and truly reunited.

Written by Jan Allison and Darren Watson

Hi James Unfortunately Darren's health has not been so good for over a year and I have had very limited contact with him and his family - to be writing together again is simply a dream come true:-) Hugs Jan xx

Darren is an amazing friend and was a tower of strength to me supporting me when dad was so ill and then diagnosed with terminal cancer. When Daz got ill I tried my best to return the friendship and support - now we are back in direct contact we are continuing to support each other and I can say with 100% honesty he supports me far more than some of my immediate family!

I think I can say I've missed him too Andrea - but only a little bit we don't want Daz to get big headed now do we lol. Seriously, hearing from Daz on the day my interview was aired was more than just down to co-incidence and it truly was the best day of the year for me . It is pretty emotional reading our poem. The next one we post will be for the castle's contest and we truly will be Jadazzle reunited:-) hugs Jan xx
