If you would like to link to us go right ahead, I do ask though that if you know us in real life that you use my kids blog names if you refer to them. I don't use them in my blog or the title for safety purposes. Thanks so much!

Mother Sacrifices Her Life For Her Son

It's not often that the media focuses on a story of love (that doesn't involve some kind affair or other horrid crime), well here is a wonderful example of the love a mother has for a child. Wow, I would like to think that if the same happened to me, I would have the courage to do exactly what she did.

"A mother made the ultimate sacrfice by refusing cancer treatment to give birth to a healthy baby boy.
Lorraine Allard was told four months into the pregnancy the devastating news that she was in the advanced stages of cancer.
A further blow came when doctors advised her to terminate the foetus, which was 23 weeks old, and start chemotherapy straight away.
Instead, she insisted on waiting long enough to give her unborn son a chance to survive, telling her husband, Martyn: 'If I am going to die, my baby is going to live.' "
