Story

Just a thought...

 

Imagine u've just been told u have terminal illness, imagine u're told u dont have long to live, imagine u have to come to terms with saying goodbye, imagine the fear, the pain and the heartache u have to go through....now imagine going through all that....as a child.

 

Men do less than they ought,
unless they do all they can.
Thomas Carlyle

Like any other person when thinking about doing something that frightens you like a skydive, these thoughts first came to mind, reasons stopping me..... Fear of heights &  Fear of something going wrong. 

 

 

And then slowly, i thought of reasons why i should:

Make my boys proud of their brave momma :)

Kick my fears to the curb oh yeh!

Raise awareness and money for a really good cause

More importantly doing it for the children that needs this <3

 

 So i'm going for it!
