Love for my family..

Recently i have been thinking a lot about where my loyalties lie when it comes to family, every time i put down the phone after talking to my Dad i feel so helpless that i am sea's apart from them when they need me the most. I call them as much as i can but it is just not the same as being there in person for someone. I can't just give her a hug when she is having a bad day or get her a glass of water when she needs one. I also can't help but think i could be doing more for her. After all i am now an 8 hour plane journey away, and as family we are all in this together.

The worst part of all this for me is recently Andrea has been really sick after her first session of kemo therapy, and every time i ring and hope to speak to her Dad says "shes not really up for talking shes taking a lie down". This upsets me as if i was there in person i wouldn't even need to be a phone call away, and i wouldn't need to hear her voice as i would be able to see her face.

No matter how sick she is her beautiful face is always trying to smile, this amazes me and tells me not to take the little things in life for granted. As this lady is battling with lung cancer and she can still shine through with her inner beauty and motherly glow towards us all.

This lady deserves a medal for all she has been through and come out stronger from.
