I had my life put into perspective big time tonight,i logged on to facebook just before dinner and saw a post from a friend of ours which read...".This is the worst day of my life,Leah (8) has just been diagnosed with a blood clot in the vein to her brain." How unfair is that? I ate my dinner in silence and havent done much else since,her big brother is one of my sons close friends but we havent seen him about tonight,maybe with his grandparents. I always thought that when someone close to you is ill people always make the right noises and say things like..if you need anything,and were all praying for you,but they dont really know what its like till its your family,and indeed Lee ( her mum) said to me on many occasions things of a similar nature.I duly posted get well wishes but just feel it isnt enough but if people are healed by prayer and well wishes alone this wee one will pull through quickly ans safely.
Puts my life into persperctive ,there really is always someone somewhere worse off than yourself and id take this all over again just so my friends wee one can recover.Ive had my life and health till i was 27 im lucky,Lee's family will never be the same again after today.
Thoughts and prayers for Leah,recover soon xx
