…to gush with pride over my daughter?!

DD is almost 16 and has this evening gone off to her prom looking absolutely stunning.

This is the same girl who, just 5 years ago, laid in a hospital bed full of tubes and drains following major abdominal surgery to remove a huge tumour.

Tonight is her night, and a big ‘fuck you’ to cancer. I am so incredibly proud of her and how she’s recovered both mentally and physically. I thank my lucky stars each and every day that she survived.

So lovely to read. Hope she has a fantastic night.

It’s hard to imagine that the little body that was so poorly has just walzed down the road in 5 inch heels and completely owning a very beautiful dress.

There was another girl of the same age in the oncology unit that didn’t make it. I’ve lit a candle for her this evening. I often think of her parents.
