This blog post is not about a recent photoshoot or anything personal to me . . . this post is about someone that I have never even met! This post is about Penny Thomas. Like most people, I dabble in and out of various forms of social media. My favourite form of social media at the minute is; Instagram. I have made some really lovely Instagram friends, and thoroughly enjoy following their feeds. Last Friday night I refreshed my instagram feed, to see what my IG friends were up to that day, and I read some heart breaking news. A lady photographer that I follow, lost her 21 month old daughter in a tragic accident. Jill Thomas, a US photographer’s little daughter; Penny, passed away last Wednesday. I’ve seen many beautiful images of this little girl on her mum’s instagram feed, and I cannot forget about dear little Penny. Maybe because I’m a newbie Mammy myself, that I have been thinking about this family so much . . . . but my heart is breaking for little Penny, and her family.
I was himming and haaaaaing over writing this blog post. Like many other people, I am an avid follower of many things on the internet, but I’m often daunted at the prospect at putting personal thoughts on my blog. . . . out there for the whole world to see . . . to enjoy . . . to judge . . . to appreciate . . . or to scorn. Those are my issues! I’m also, a bit cynical of the “click here for world peace” and “1 like = 1 wish” type of posts that often come up on my facebook feed. I’m not a clicker on those posts. However . . . . I followed this following link without a second thought. Unfortunately, Penny’s funeral expenses are not covered by her family’s insurance.

I know I have been cuddling Donnacha a little harder since reading about Penny, and I’m being very thankful for all our blessings.
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
