An extraordinary girl living with Trisomy 18
 |
| Slept well, all smiles ready for school on her birthday. |
 |
| One of Vera's pet past-times, making a 'siew mai' with her lips. |
 |
| She tires by the time it comes to cake cutting. |
 |
| Hooray! We're not in hospital! |
"A simple child, that lightly draws its breath, and feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?"
- William Wordsworth
Without weakness,
how do we find strength?
Without darkness,
how do we see the light?
Without sorrow,
how do we savour joy?
Without silence,
how do we learn to listen?
Without fear,
how do we learn to be brave?
Without death,
how do we treasure life?
Without loss,
how would we know what we have gained?
- Yin May
