Five years ago my mother Sara died unexpectedly of cancer that was diagnosed just three days previously. My sister, Dad and I were with her in hospital when she passed away quietly into the next life.
Yet within a month I became pregnant, finally after years of trying, with our third child, James. It felt like the circle of life was continuing.

Yesterday was the anniversary, so a poignant day, but even more so as the film crew from Live Life Then Give Life (lltg.org) were at our house filming a mini documentary about James.  I talked on camera about the journey that has taken us from James' diagnosis last July, to being put on the waiting list for a heart transplant last August. It's been a long 9 months wait. I spoke from the heart and I felt emotional, but held it together, and I think we got some good footage. The kids were fantastic and my older two were great on camera. James was a little superstar, and chirpy and worked it for the cameras. My friend Anna took loads of photos which hopefully I will get up on the post later in the week.

What could've been a gloomy and depressing day, became a really positive day, like finally we can really make progress with getting James' story out there, and hopefully changing people's views about organ donation. The Facebook Page has 2,600 likes since I started it just over 48 hours ago. How amazing is that?

Thank you for anyone reading this post and please keep sharing the love.

LET LOVE LIVE ON
