An Update...

[londonronnie]

In March of last year I posted about Gracie, my daughter's friend's baby, who'd been diagnosed with cancer at the age of three weeks.

A couple of days ago linnhie asked me what had happened to Gracie in the months since my post, coincidentally just as Gracie is about to celebrate her first birthday! It's certainly a birthday that nobody thought she'd ever see, and as you can imagine everybody's simply over the moon about it.

So, I'd been contemplating doing an update post as I thought that others might be wondering about Gracie's condition, when lo and behold - she's on the front page of the paper tonight!

Here's a link to the newspaper story and a lovely photo of Gracie and brother Alfie along with it (Alfie is Izzy's best friend, btw - she's already decided that she's getting married to him! *g*)

Gracie's a lovely baby; still very small for her age, but she's always happy and smiling. She really is a little miracle!
