When I first heard this story many months ago [...]
Hope

There has been much talk of hope (or the lack thereof) in my little circle of people recently.
I believe in hope. I believe that without hope we have nothing. Even in my darkest days (and they were very dark) I always had hope. Hope that tomorrow would be better and it always was.

Liquorice-All-Sorts are one of my favourite sweets, they come in all shapes, sizes and colours and each different one has a personality and flavour.

The first time I read the link, I thought that my story wasn’t worth telling … after all who would want to read it? And it would take way to long and too much effort to write.

Breast Cancer Walk at the Zoo – FAIL
Posted by Laura in Uncategorized on 19. Oct, 2009 | 8 Comments
Yesterday there was a walk to raise money for breast cancer at the Joburg Zoo.
Sally took my kids and I met them there later.
She texted me at about 10h00 to say it was disastrous! What had happened sounded like a little piece of hell.
