This is a picture of my sister Barbara at New York Airport, changing planes on the way to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in America. It was a big adventure: the first time anyone in the family had ever been on a plane. She was just 16 and going for an experimental heart valve transplant. These days the op is done in local hospitals but then it required a major fund-raising exercise including remortgaging the house and a long flight to the other side of the world. Sadly, it was all too late and she died on this day 15 June 1966. Hope you're running and dancing now Babs. Love and miss you loads. xxx
