I’ve been feeling very conflicted this week. When I gave the newspaper agency the hospital pictures of Sam I was in two minds. I’d only taken them for personal reasons and in case school questioned his absence. In their defence they didn’t and have been amazing throughout.
When I took the pictures I never in a million years thought they’d be in Newspapers or on Newspaper websites. I find a couple of the pictures very hard to look at and they bring back very dark memories and instantly take me back, but the reason I said they could be used (after clearing it with Sam obviously) is because I think it’s important people realise that sinus infections can get so serious and in the hope of raising a good amount for the Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
I don’t regret my decision, but I never imagined that the article would be printed in different variations so many times and today when I saw it on the Fox News website I was amazed.
The articles fill me with the strangest of emotions but I think it’s just the reminder that our story could have so easily taken a different turn and I can’t let my mind go there as it is just to scary to think about.
So I’m focusing on the positive side of the article and pictures and knowing that although those pictures break my heart they are doing good and may possibly save someone else’s life.
