Laurent is Talina's uncle. Laurent was the one picking us up from the hospital. He visited Talina every minute he possibly could
Dear Friends,
I reckon that knowing my niece was sick even before she would be born seemed unfair to her because she was just a baby and didn’t know much about life yet !! So I guess when Steph did manage to get Talina back home so that we could hold her and be around doing all we wanted to do with her anyway, I felt like we took our “revenge” on life !
Yes it has been a tough decision to take but I am so glad I have been able to hold my little niece, and kiss her , being around even though her spirit was already above us. Not once have I felt ashamed, disgusted or even thought I was crazy to do such a thing with my beautiful niece. The important thing was that she was my niece no matter what, and I am proud we have been part of each other’s life even for just a while !!
It’s true life can be tough and full of unexpected events but it’s up to us to take advantage of any situation and get the most out of it, not being simple spectators but rather actors of our lives by the decisions we make. That’s what we did with Talina and no doubt I would do it again.
Laurent
