An heroic family

Do have a look at this extremely touching short film from yesterday's BBC Newsnight in which presenter Gavin Esler and his daughter Charlotte discuss the impact on their family of Charlotte's diagnosis with Hodgkins Lymphoma last year, when she was 14.

My sister died of ovarian cancer aged 45 in March 2000. Today would have been her birthday.

I was very sad to read of the loss of your sister. Yesterday must have been a difficult day. We never 'get over' something like that, only learn to live with it.

Thank you, Anna. You're completely right.
