>Congratulations, Honey.

>Honey gave birth to beautiful little girl yesterday at 11.18am. Although Pema was born 10 weeks early it appears that apart from the necessary help with feeding and breathing, she is going to be a fighter if she is anything like her mother. If you read the bit at the top of the blog you will know why this baby is so special to Honey and her partner. No doubt Honey’s two other children are ecstatic about the arrival of their new sister too.

Honey looks radiant in the photo of her holding Pema – why not go and wish her your best. Or at least take a peep.

Welcome to the world, Pema.

    An incredibly brave woman. Here’s hoping she beats the demon ravaging her body and gets to see that child grow up.

    MrN, she is also an incredible, wonderful, kind and lovely friend – as the Aunt would agree.
    The Aunt, I keep checking her blog to see if there’s news. She’ll be far too busy for Skype these days, but I keep on thinking of what she did for me in 2007… and so much more.

    I think it brightened a lot of people’s day. You are fortunate to have her as a friend.
