I ...ah, I could kick you that made me cry so much. I had no idea the menengitis incident was that dire and intense. I think you told me about it after but you are so understated. I"m sorry i didn't know it was so so desperate. So glad you wrote this and I read it.

I remember seeing her with the tubes in her tiny body, the disheavelled kitchen which you had just left, I remember listening to Fleetwood Mac, driving you back from the hosptial. I remember the loaded, quiet questions about the possibility of having another child.... just in case. <br /><br />How life is put into perspective as moment like that. I'm glad that I remember. I'm glad that I shared your pain, I'm glad that we could be there for you, but most of all I'm glad we all came out the other side stronger.<br /><br />Love to you all.<br /><br />N.xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136059061812057760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441387570753703968.post-25539603976531372272011-11-14T13:24:57.241+01:002011-11-14T13:24:57.241+01:00Oh Sian, I'm all teary reading this.

We have three teddies that are identical too. They look the same to me but Sibs knows which is which, and a bit like Bobby, she has a favorite too. xBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071999450731273883noreply@blogger.com
