This short book is essentially a reflection, through poetry and prose, of the experience of life through the eyes and words of a talented poet and tireless worker for the benefit of others.
It culminates with a consideration of when it is time to say goodbye to friends and loved ones following a final stay in hospital after surgery, clinical treatment and convalescence have all run their course. It is essentially a message of hope and encouragement, especially for the benefit of loved ones, friends and colleagues.
Some of the opinions expressed, or information and ideas contained within this book may not match your own, especially any experience of a stay in hospital, surgery or clinical care, however they are all born out of the highs and lows of experience of daily life in a variety of settings, including facing an operation, time spent during chemotherapy care and beyond.
The short diary of a trip to Cernavoda, Romania with Children in Distress, is a reflection of how things felt at the time and the love and care that was delivered to the children there by a great many people.
