Joy & Sadness



Today has been filled with both incredible joy and earth shattering sadness.
My long-time friend became a dad for the first time to a beautiful little girl, which if fantastic and I could not be happier for him, his lovely wife and their new little girl.
But I also learned that another friend had to terminate her pregnancy because her baby was very abnormal and would not make it to term. I feel very sad for her and her partner that they have had to do this. It reminds me a little of when I had a miscarriage a few years ago, though unlike that I had no say in the matter, no choices to make, it just happened. I truly hope that she doesn’t blame or question herself and that the sorrow, loss and sadness will go down over time.
It makes me realise just how much I love my little bubba boy and so he has had extra hugs today!
Given that I live 100’s of miles away, it has also made me feel a little isolated as I wish I could be there to give both of them big hugs. So I guess I will have to send big loving hugs their way through the air OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO love to you both xx
