SIR - How very heart-warming it was to read the story of Claire Joseph (T&A, March 25) how brave she is to be giving her dad Peter one of her kidneys, a reminder to us all that for every negative thing we read or hear, a greater positive exists.

Claire, I'm sure won't remember me but I remember her as a child and a friend of my nieces Emma and Hazel.

She was always cheerful and happy and this is just the thing I would have thought she would have done.

I'm proud of the T&A, there's more positive things being printed than negatives Mrs Patricia Murphy, Astor Drive, Newport News, Virginia, USA
