I always feel honoured to be at Breath Of Life, to be with Michelle, her husband Andrew, their many children and the carers who help with the babies it’s a very sacred experience for me always it’s like for a brief time I’m one of them I share in their hopes and joy and we become part of each other’s memories for all eternity. I, who often feels out of place in the world, found a place in the hearts of the littlest amongst us whose hearts and eyes are yet to realize I look a little different from them)
  • Delivering something special to a special friend’s mailbox ( I love surprising people it’s my favourite pastime)
