Tristan turns one year old today. I cannot believe how slowly.. and how quickly... this last year has gone by. My little baby says "Mama", "Dada", "kitty", "tree", "light" and "Day-Day" (for Daisy). He's on the verge of walking (only holds one of my fingers for security purposes) and is so happy and full of laughter and cuddles. He fills our lives with joy.
All of this is possible because many strangers gave me a second chance of life and 9 litres of blood when I had a massive haemorrhage after my emergency caesarean section. There is not a single day that I am not grateful to them, for being able to take care of my son and watch him grow and develop into such a wonderful boy.
Thank you RCTQ for all your support then and now, and thank you, blood donors out there.
Love, Jo in Scotland
