So begins the text explaining a photo that Shutr (a flickr contact) posted recently on his flickr site. It’s seems rude to say it but it’s a beautiful photograph and the description will bring tears to your eyes.

Here’s two extracts…

So now, about the photograph. If you look on his fingernails, you can see some of the legacy of that treatment. On each of his fingernails there is a strong white line which is gradually being forced upwards by new, healthy nail beneath.

Underneath that line should be a cancer free man, if the doctors are right.

About Me

I’m a thirtymumble Irish male living in Dublin. I’m single, agnostic…and, just to complicate things, a vegetarian. I’m extremely proud that I’ve never seen a full episode of Corrie, Eastenders, etc.

My favourite joke of all time:
Two cows walk into a field
The first cow says, ‘moo‘.
The second cow says, ‘Damn, I was gonna say that‘.
