Recently I celebrated my daughters first birthday. But this was a day of mixed and powerfull emotions, as Poppys mum, Susan, died of acute respiritory distress- a result of the H1N1 virus- three weeks after she was born.
Susan never had the chance to meet her daughter, a fact of life I struggle to accept.
Over the next few months i am going to try to relate a few things: My joy at watching my daughter grow, my love for Susan and my grief at her not being with me. And the process I and Susans familly are going through to try and bring some good from her death- by improveing the state of care for respiritory illness in the North West of England. Nothing that comes from this can restore what has been lost.
That's all for now.
