Summing it up

I've been wanting to blog for a while but my Mum's been staying and somehow I don't feel I can blog when she's here.  Too worried she'll want to read it! 

Anyway, I wanted to record this message a friend sent to me soon after Wotsit's diagnosis - it summed up well just how I was feeling.

"It doesn't seem fair that you and Ben have another trial to go through after the heartache of losing darling Monkey.  This parenting lark has not been kind to you two... Our worst moment has only been a broken arm.  I don't believe in God so I can't pray for Wotsit but I wish with all my heart for a full and speedy recovery."
