You're beautiful...
Is it just me or does everyone shudder at the thought of a sick child?
We are in the middle of Mix FM’s Give me five for kids…raising money for the children’s ward at Nambour General Hospital…
If you hang around hospitals enough…what’s going on in the children’s ward could just about break your heart….but there’s good stories too…and that’s what give me five for kids is all about…no matter what’s wrong with your baby, showing that the sunshine coast cares and there is always some hope…
There are some very sad stories from the childrens ward…but I stumbled across this lovely story this morning…about British popster James Blunt's song You're Beautiful…
10 days ago, Five-year-old Claudia De'Alwis, fell head first from a five-metre balcony.
For ten days she lay in a coma, doctors saying that even if Claudia lived, there was no way of guaging the extent of her head injury, until she woke up.
This week, when the song ‘You’re Beautiful’ came on the radio…claudia started to move for the first time, and all of a sudden she opened her eyes.
Claudia’s Dad Paul says he’s convinced it’s the song that brought her around.
"Claudia loves You're Beautiful and she used to sing it all the time. It was like her theme tune," he said.
"It was an unforgettable moment when she opened her eyes and acknowledged us at last."
I know lots of people hate James Blunt (my friend Tracy calls him ‘that miserable bastard’) but I love him…and this is proof…he’s a miracle worker…!
