Yesterday was a very strange day for me, I had a day of very mixed emotions. I felt very privileged to have met two very beautiful girls who very very sadly have lost and are losing the battle to fight for their lives. I was honoured to be asked to meet a last minute request to visit Naomi House to take the fingerprints of a beautiful young girl who had sadly lost the challenges faced by suffering with Cystic Fibrosis and ultimately taken by the dreaded swine flu. I felt so pleased that I was able to contribute to easing the pain of grief and help preserve the memories that her family are striving to keep forever.
Then I had the pleasure of being in the company of a couple who have strength that I can not imagine possible to have and be in the presence of their beautiful daughter who is bravely fighting a battle against a degenerative genetic disorder. As carers in their own home 24/7, a commitment you can only admire, her parents oozed positive attitude and their strength towards life was just unbelievably contagious. I was so pleased (for want of a better word) they had chosen me to capture and preserve the fingerprints of their daughter...thank you.
They were such humbling experiences, they really brought home that we should all enjoy every day for what it is, forget about the negatives in life as they really aren't important and be thankful for everything that is good in your world because you really don't know what is coming round the corner.
