I get to spend this evening at a gig with my friend who's daughter is playing. It's not that long ago we thought my friend wasn't going to make it. I have no family in the country where I live but my friend and her family have always treated me like I am one of them, I am so grateful that my friend is still here and although she has permanent damage she still loves life and proceeds to live it to the full, giving a lot of her time and energy to those in need of them. She is a true inspiration and I am so grateful that she is still here.
