Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts they all mean a great deal. I am not sure what else to say, we appreciate everything that has been said.
One last act by Natasha:
Natasha's first tumour was called a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma and itself is a rare occurance. It affects young children before they are 10 and has a zero survival rate. Very little is known about DIPGs apart from they are always fatal. Natasha was unique in that she was diagnosed at 16 and survived for 8 years, no-one knows why. She was passionate about her work as a Young Ambassador for the Brain Tumour Charity and several years ago decided she wanted to make a difference. Tomorrow morning our awesome daughter will donate her whole brain for specialist research into DIPGs. She was adamant she wanted this to happen and we are very proud of her for allowing it.
A research laboratory has already been identified which is headed by a man who has made great strides into the make up of DIPGs and he has told us Natasha's brain tissue will be invaluable as samples are so rare.
Apart from total love and devastation that she is gone, my overwhelming emotion is one of pride. I am proud to be her father.
