Very sad news, glad for you that you got to do the goodbye. Take the time to grieve then recall the good.

I will be eternally grateful that my medical colleagues enabled me to be with her even in full PPE ( small discomfort) to hold her hand as she took her last breath.

She fought hard for a long time but it was her time - the head knows that the heart is broken.

Vale mum :cry:
Vale indeed, She raised an exceptional Woman.

Peace be with you, Im so happy you could be there for Her.
thinking of you. xxx

Thank you all for your thoughts and wishes

Look what I found today - she loved this young man.

Ah the days when players and supporters could mingle!

Around 30 years ago by the look of it.

You'll find lots of stuff, some will bring tears and others smiles. Take the time, it's a journey to savor

Girlfriends dad crashed his motor bike and has head injuries. Thais do not wear helmats. He has sight issues and no guarantee he will ever return to normal. They are talking a few momths in hospital. There will be a few changes to be made.

10 months ago i was asked to take some pics of a 6 year old to celebrate finishing chemo, she had been fighting cancer for 2 years, stem cell treatment, you name it, she had it, but by Christmas it was back. I did i think 5 shoots with her, made lots of cute little girl composites, her favourites always included rainbow unicorns. her mum got them printed big and they filled her room. But my favourite is a pic of her and her sister sitting on the floor in clouds or tulle, She resting her head on her younger sisters shoulder and looking straight at me, Her sister is looking at her smiling. Its just a beautiful moment. I printed it for them and for me. She kept fighting, but this afternoon She got her real angel wings. She passed at home with her family, thankfully it was pretty quick. Im shattered, heartbroken beyond belief. RIP sweet baby, you taught me so much, and I will never ever forget you.
