What a great story! Joan is truely an inspiration.

Tell Joan there’s no such thing as ‘too much’. What’s she waiting for? Another day? Huzzah to her and to you, Anna. Life is meant to be lived. I’m glad she’s going to try to live it fully.

I hope Joan sends you a post card from South Africa!

That is a great and inspiring story even for a dad like me
