The Anne Swithinbank song is very poignant because Anne herself, a dear friend, died of cancer, far too young, a few years ago. She wrote the song while she was living in Cambridge, but then she moved to the US and married and raised a family in Seattle. Her song, I hope, did a lot to encourage people to become foster parents.
