Thinking of those in Florida, but I'm hoping this is an error on the @bbcweather website and we're not due hurricanes in Yorkshire

This sentence resonated with me with regards to raising a child.

I've not been on here so much as I'm busy growing my own little seed into whatever vegetable he wants to be! At 12 weeks he's already starting to show his personality.

Twitter please can you help by sharing and tagging anyone who might help?

Liz is 16 and lives to take photographs. She has a rare and aggressive cancer which doctors have told her means she has between 6 months and 3 years to live. We hope every day for a lifetime for her but if we can’t achieve that we hope to create her a lifetime of memories. If we can make even one of her photography bucket list happen for her she will be beyond delighted.

Liz would love to:
