Sue Thomson is a lady who was badly burnt by a gas explosion in her flat 12 years ago. She suffered 40% burns to her face, back, hands and front and despite endless surgery and pain, she has the most fantastic outlook on life. I am pleased to say she was recently happily married and is keen to help others that have been burnt. In early 2011 Sue updated us with her life (now 18 years since she was burned) and with a new poem. Sue's life now includes a son and she is training to qualify as a Teachers Assistant and very much enjoying this activity in her son’s school.

Burns do n't have to ruin your life,
Whoever thought that I would be married and be somebody's wife.
About to embark on a teacher's assistant training course,
Just hope it doesn't end in me getting divorced!
The countless operations you go through,
The suffering, hurt and pain too.
Burns can alter your appearance and leave you with scars.
The one thing it can;t do is change who you really are.
It's a long hard, winding road and a huge struggle,
But there is always someone willing to pick you up and give you a cuddle.
There will be times when you want to be on your own.
Hide away from the world and think you are all alone.
It's about finding what works best for you.
Who knows what you could be or do.
Never let burns hold you back.
It's people like us the world needs and lacks.
Stand up strong push your chest out with pride...
Cause like a rollercoaster life is scary but a brilliant ride.
