She has decided against a prosthetic and wears short sleeves because she feels more comfortable in them. She has been criticised in blogs by parents worried that she might frighten their children. Dear God. I think the children of those parents have more to worry about from parents who think like that. Fortunately, she has received an avalanche of supportive posts and mails and she has handled the whole affair with great aplomb. Everytime she appears, my 18 month old grandson shouts her name out with delight. John

	$Posted Image$ Catholic and proud of it! Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards
