I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

Get well soon Ally, otherwise I will organise a visiting rosta of all of your mother's blogging friends.
ReplyDeletePammy, you are the sweetest. We have this kind of image of all-american mum's over here, and babe, you fall right into it. Hope your kid gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteShe won't want a kiss from me, so you have it instead. X.
I'm not sure just how 'sweet' I am (ask my teenagers), but I am American and I'm a mum, so I s'pose I could be what you think of when you picture an All American Mum.
ReplyDeleteI've been blesssed with four children and a wonderful husband. I know how lucky I am to be where I am and have what I have. I count my blessings daily.
And if it were at all possible to take away my children's pain and sickness and give it to myself, I would. I know most parents would want to, but we can't. It's a learning process for our babies. They learn to appreciate their health and their difficulties only serve to make them stronger as they grow older. It's painful for me to watch, but there isn't anything more I can do but get them the best medical treatments, give them all the love I can and teach them to be good people.
Goodness, I waxed long on that one didn't I? Sorry.
Thanks for the kiss Tommy dear. It's most appreciated.
I so hope she feels better soon! There is nothing worse than watching one of your children suffer and not being able to make it better. XX
ReplyDeletepoor darling. hope she feels better soon.

Pammy, I hope Ally is feeling better. She's lucky to have a nice mom like you.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. You're so kind. She is better today, but the doc still wants to see her, so we're heading in to see him in a bit.
