WHAT a touching and moving story of two year old Olivia Howard (The Press, May 21).

The ordeal of this brave little girl brought a tear to the eye – and what her parents have gone through is inconceivable as she underwent two brain operations to remove a tumour.

Hopefully, she will not remember too much about her illness. The smile on her face on the front of The Press speaks volumes – she will grow up to be a strong and beautiful young woman with all her life to look forward to.

Best wishes for the future to Olivia and her parents.
