perspective...

1 minute read time.

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

    It's difficult enough for us to be given the news 'you have cancer', but to hear that your child has a life threatening condition, well I can't even imagine. My thoughts and prayers are with Leah and her family.

    I totally understand that Leigh, a little girl that came to our nursery and lives round the corner to me, lost her Dad through a motorbike accident last Monday  - she is 6 years old and I felt typing a private message to her mum saying if you need ANYTHING call me, just wasn't really good enough.....and I mean't it and added my mobile number.  I have had it said so many times to me since my seizure/ surgery and I know that for most people its just the "said thing" they'd probably crap themselves if I phoned and asked for help or support LOL

    It seems that very bad things happen to good people.

    Love & Strength to you & very best wishes for Leah's recovery.
