Alan and Pauline Sevitz marked the birthday of their late daughter Hayley, in a moving and most meaningful way, together with the workers and staff of Astra Centre.
Pauline shared two lessons that they have learnt as a family in the last two years since Hayley passed away. The first one was that our lives can change in seconds so we really have to appreciate the time we have and make the most of the life we have been given. The second idea was about the way Hayley would greet everyone with warmth and a friendly smile despite the challenges she may have been having.
Pauline encouraged everyone to try to emulate that same special ability in their relationships with each other. She also tried to get everyone to think about qualities in people that they had lost, and incorporate those same qualities in their own lives, as a way to remember and honour them. Alan and Pauline were both deeply touched bythe way the workers consoled with them.
