Strength from Adversity

Pink Breast Cancer Awareness RibbonI never cease to be amazed and humbled by the stories I read of people who turn adversity into strength.  Today I was reading a heartwarming story of six year old Lola who was carefully and lovingly cutting her mother’s hair before it fell out from the side effects of chemotherapy.   Her mother, Sara Etchells had decided to make a video of the occasion so that she might explain in more detail later to her daughter, but when friends saw it they were very moved and suggested that it could be used positively in some way.  It was therefore decided to put it on You Tube and a justgiving page was created to raise money for a selection of cancer charities.  I have just watched the You Tube posting and it moved me to tears.  Such love and tenderness between mother and daughter as well as laughter.  I hope you find it as beautiful and inspiring as I did.  I also felt very grateful.  This is the link for You Tube Sara and Lola – a special moment  and this is the link for donations: www.justgiving.com/teams/Saralola
