Perspective

I have turned into a moody cranky pregnant lady. I admit it. 
When I'm pregnant my patience is thin, my moodiness is high and my ability to be polite and tactful goes out the window. My poor husband says the thing he hates about me being pregnant is I'm too honest. So if you've had anything to do with me in the last 33 weeks you'd probably have noticed I've been complaining a lot about everything, well today I got a whack in the face, probably just what I needed really.
Michael's Aunt and Uncle will be spending Christmas without their eldest son who went missing a few weeks ago driving home in western Queensland and today Michael found out the body of his cousin had been found.
To make matters worse they lost their youngest son a few years ago. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a child, it's just not the way it's meant to happen, not once and certainly not twice. 
So today I read that extra story James asked me for at nap time and let Charlie have that extra piece of watermelon after lunch.
I really have nothing to complain about.

  1. What terrible news and so close to Christmas. I think we all get wrapped up in our own negativities and unfortunately sometimes it takes things like this to make us realise in fact how lucky we are.

    Condolences to the family xx

  3. That's just unspeakably horrible. I can't even begin to imagine how they must be feeling- and for your family as well, in your time of grief.

  5. A reminder to be grateful is always welcome. But I don't know why it always has to be so darn big. Sorry to hear of their loss. Compounded by it being their second is cruel.
