Caity and I have been happy to help Emily with her dissertation. Caity has found it a fun and positive experience, allowing her self confidence to grow. At times it has been emotional, talking about past times, looking at old photos and videos of all my children. However lots of lovely memories have been rekindled too!
The highlight was our meeting with Mr. Harkness, the surgeon who performed Caity’s neurosurgery nearly 16 years ago. Although now retired, he was happy to meet for coffee and to answer Caity’s questions. For several years Caity has wanted to say thank you to Mr. Harkness, and meet the man she could not remember. I never thought that this would have been possible, but thanks to Emily’s hard work she was able to make this happen.
