EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1960s when miracles were born. The Thorns sextuplets, a symbol of hope and perseverance, stand before us in their tiny yet resilient forms. Among them is Sister Dorothy Hilditch, the compassionate head of the special care unit team that has been tirelessly looking after these precious babies. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time on December 3rd, 1968, it becomes evident that medical advancements have made possible what was once deemed impossible. These six little bundles of joy are a testament to the wonders of fertility treatment and IVF procedures. The image captures a moment filled with mixed emotions - awe and gratitude for new life but also concern as Roger is carefully carried back to his incubator by Sister Dorothy. It serves as a reminder that even though they may be small and fragile, these infants possess an incredible strength within them. This photograph not only celebrates the birth of multiple babies but also pays tribute to all mothers who undergo such extraordinary journeys. It honors fathers who support their partners through every step of this challenging process. As we reflect upon this remarkable scene from history, let us cherish the power of love and science coming together to create miracles like the Thorns sextuplets – a symbol of resilience against all odds.
