After she said an emotional farewell to her dying mother, Sarah Phillips, 16, produced a personal tribute to her mothers four-year battle against cancer.
Alone in her bedroom, Sarah read the words of the song “Autumn”, by Scottish singer Paulo Nutini, from the internet. Then, holding her mobile phone in her left hand and using it as a recording device, she sang the song without a single mistake or hesitation.
Four and a half hours later, Sarah and the rest of her family were at Mrs Phillips’ bedside in the family home when she took her final breath. She was 48.
The song has been put to music and clips from family videos – taken during the last two decades of Mrs. Phillips’s life – were turned into this short film.
Please be sure to tell those that you love how much they mean to you, while you still can.
