That's a difficult question for me as there are many people that have played a part in one way or another: My Husband who continues to support me over the years we have been together since we were 14. For his love and admiration to me and for is friendship and love for 30 years .
For a friend Natalie Hawes who made me think differently about life after her death after her fight with leukaemia. She made me think never to not tell people how you feel about them as its important to tell them. when they are gone they don't know.
For a friend Polly I have had since I was 17 who has been a special person in my life like a sister and very good with guidance and her wonderful friendship.
5. What is the best compliment you have ever received?
Wow I'm unsure I think I have had many comments that have been lovely over the years but one thing I remember is whilst I didn't like myself as a person. My friend who passed away whilst in my teens, Natalie Hawes told her mum "she wanted to be like me" That was something through my childhood I had never expected someone to say as I had a low opinion of myself as a child. I thank all the lovely people around the world and Lizzie for the lovely words she has passed to me. My Friend Polly for the many words that have been exchanged over the years. Also whilst in hospital even though I struggled I was always amazed by the exchange of kind words said to me there from Katherine Howarth a young girl Struggling with illness. Also caring words recently of staff from the London Hospital and the wonderful words of support. For my very own doctor who has supported me with kind words from a professional prospective during my illness. For my husband who should really be first in the thought about compliments who never fails to compliment everyday since we have been together.

Bless all the children of compassion
Thanks :) I am so glad that you are a sponsor/correspondent! Your 28 kiddos will be sooooo blessed :)
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you kindly lizzie I feel blessed to think you have passed on this to me. I love all my little ones they all mean so much to me. I hope managed to do this correctly. I found it a bit hard lol . I'm not much of a tech wizard and my memory isn't great. I've still got more to do but I will finish the rest in the morning . I have to do things like this in a gradual process does blogging from the boonies count or does Michelle have more than 200 supporters . Keep up your amazing work and all you do in your life. Many many thanks lizzie I hope we can share more about our children around the world :-)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading the rest! I hope I didn't make it too hard. You can pass it on to Michelle even though she has more than 200 followers. The goal is to give the award to blogs with less than 200 followers, but I think most of the Compassion blogs with that many have already been awarded :)
DeleteHi lizzie
ReplyDeleteI think I got the hang of it but my technical brain was on a go slow lol :-) I wasn't sure how many followers Michelle had I thought she would have lots but I couldn't see they had less followers . I thankyou again for passing on this award lizzie :-)
