A brave mother found the strength to be at her son's first day of school before cancer claimed her life the following day.
In a final act of defiance against the disease, 31-year-old Gemma Hogg checked out of the hospice where she had gone to die to see four-year-old Thomas go to infant school.
She then returned to the hospice in Crawley, Sussex, and passed away a day later on Tuesday, September 7, surrounded by her family.

A friend of mine who is well hard, was shouting the odds, so I told him to read this story.
He shook my hand and said , point taken. If the story does not move you, then you don't have a pulse.
