The Gallery - Inspirational People

When I saw this weeks gallery prompt my initial thought was, oh dear I have no photos of inspirational people, I have not traveled the world to see amazing people doing amazing things.

But today I went to the hospital with my Mum, as shes going through a really tough time of ill health at the moment, and right there in front of me were two truly inspirational people.

My Mum and My Dad, who have not always had things easy, but have always done their very best, who have always been there not only for each other but for anyone else too.


The fact they stay together through the most difficult times, support each other and carry on is so inspirational, so this post is dedicated to them. Thank you Mum and Dad, for being YOU!

  4. For the short time I have known them I have seen just how loving and caring they are.
    I spoke to Liz on the phone before the hospital visit and she read me the most moving poem ever heard. She had written it for the specialist and it asked him to tell her what was wrong. Towards the end of the poem she started crying and I just wanted to give her a big hug ............
    You have a wonderful mother.

  12. These days it's the exception rather than the rule that you have parents still together. It really makes a huge difference to your life though doesn't it?

  15. So important to realise that the most inspirational people we know are the quiet ones close to home. My parents are also my role models - great post.
    Thanks for your comment on my silent sunday last week - embarrassed to say I'm only just working my way through everyone else's!
