After, actually two days after, my daughter finishes her leaving cert,
she is off to Zambia, with her youth group, nine of them are going to help
in a orphanage for children with special needs, and she was lucky enough
to be one of the chosen few.

She is well deserving of it, and I'm whilst delighted for her to have the chance
to do something wonderful and rewarding, when the time comes for her to go
I will be rattling until she is safe back home.

Part of the trip is funded through the youth organisation, and she had to raise
money herself, we organised some events, and bummed sponsership
from friends and family.

She did great and the money is raised, one of the events was on
last wednesday.  I have mentioned many times in this and hismidlifemycrisis,
about my funny girl friend, now she is funny in that she has amazing wit, funny
that she is kind and loving and yet dark in humour, (bit like meself), she is a 
professional comedian, and like most comedians, has to work hard to get gigs,
and earn her crust.

I remember once she said to me, I dont do charity, I need charity,
(tongue in cheek, and she was kidding me), this was proved last wednesday, because
she, herself organised a comedy gig, and got some of her comedian mates, to come
on board, and we had a great night out, and money was raised, and all is well for
my girl to head to Zambia, for probably hopefully one of the best experiences
of her life.

It is the people we meet, and the things we do for each other,
that define the type of people we are, kindness, goodness,
appreciation and love, make a truly beautiful person,
I am glad to say that my daughter has experienced all of those things
in her young life, and is returning them back to people she meets,
and things she does.

Thank you, my funny girl friend, for your goodness and kindness
to me and my girl, see you soon.
