nice surprises

Making a decision to have family photo's done with a wig on my head and a puffy face from chemo was a bit daunting! But the timing was now as the school had a fundraiser to have a family portrait session and given that photographer John rarely features in our family snaps - it had to be done.

 

 

Well it's a place in time, it's not like we will forget it easily, so maybe it will be a momento hanging on our wall of 'when the going gets tough.....' And remind us how we can overcome things as a family.

Surprisingly, we had a lot of fun doing it as a family and we forgot about stuff. 

Even more surprisingly, when we got home we received a call from the photographer saying that they needed to refund us as the school community had donated a complimentary package to us with a special card with best wishes. I was so overwhelmed I had to stop the lady because I couldn't take in any more information she was giving me. 

We are so grateful for the lovely gesture and when this disease isolates and makes everyone feel uncomfortable it's things like this that bridge that gap of humanness.
