To ask which one sentence changed your life?

[broccoliicecream]

I’ll start.

‘My god girl- You’re pregnant.’

Said by a Dr to a 14 year old me.

"I'm sorry, there's no brain activity left, we're going to have to turn the life support off now."

Said to me by the doctor about my husband, 17 weeks ago.

“This baby is coming now, there’s nothing we can do to stop it”
The quivering voice of a Midwife who thought I was exaggerating my pain.

Baby was 15 weeks premature. She lived, just. She is severely disabled and wonderful. My life was changed forever, for the better.

Don’t think, do.

I love you, mummy

One of those moments that made me stop and remember about the little people that depend on me and reminding myself not to take it for granted.

Reading this thread and seeing how many parents are mentioned and realising/remembering how influential the parent role is in children’s lives.

"You're going to meet a friend of mine and I want you to be nice to her." Said by my father about the OW and the beginning of having a psychopath ruining my family for the past 35 years.

"Oh, is today your birthday?" Said by now Xh after 6 years of marriage.

"I'm sorry, I can't stop looking at you. You're gorgeous. Can I buy you a drink?" Said by my DH 20 years ago. Married for 18 years now.

"Can you see the owl eyes?" Said at a scan to confirm implantation after having an ectopic pregnancy 5 months earlier. Identical twin girls are now 14.

It's cancer.

2:30pm 14/09/17 me to dh: You won't believe this but I'm pregnant!
3:30pm 14/09/17 husband after hopping over my dads garden wall (lives next door) to see why he hasn't answered calls. "Don't go in there, I'm so sorry love" My lovely, healthy 52 year old Dad had a massive heart attack in his sleep.
Day before dads funeral: I'm sorry but there's no heartbeat - sonographer.
It has been the absolute worst 5 weeks of my life and I just want to hear his voice again.
I'm so sorry for all the pain on this thread, I mean that with all of my heart

Your opinion isn’t valid,il do what I want when I want,f you,you c*
Said by dh to me after building up the courage to tell him his heavy drinking is changing him,making him difficult to be around and is making me unhappy 😔

"You're not doing as well as we thought you'd be doing by now"

A level teacher to me aged 17. I bucked my ideas up and was successful. (Not sure I'd have gone to uni otherwise)

"there will be no epidural"
The stupid midwife who went on her break despite my repeated protests DD was definitely on the way

"Just do what it takes FFS! -I am leaving here today with both of them or you"
DP to the registrar who nearly killed both me and DD who wanted his signature. (We still don't know what for)

Thankfully to DH being there and a wonderful nurse I will never forget who shouted louder than DP at midwife and registrar, DD is now three and thriving. I still suffer daily though from injuries/severe blood loss I sustained, botched surgery and regular nightmares.

‘I’m so sorry but there’s nothing we can do’ said by paramedic to me after we found my son had passed away in his sleep.

Twinkleheth I am so sorry for your loss.

"Better a large scar than a small tombstone" said to me 21 years ago by the dermatologist treating my melanoma. He was so right and I am so lucky

“If the current medicine doesn’t work there is nothing more they can do.”
21 years ago this week about my Mum. The medicine didn’t work.

“We’re taking her to the hospice”
9 years ago this week about my step mum.

“Granny’s died”
32 years ago next week.

I would hate October but

“It’s a girl”
11 years ago last week.

Phone call at work from a consultant - if you want to see again you need to leave work and come now.

"he wouldn't have done any of that" - said by someone close to me when I told them someone close to me had abused me sexually. I was 7.

So many different stories

‘ Stage 3 aggressive lung cancer...’ i can’t remember the rest of the conversation. Said to me by my Mum about my beloved Grandad.

I love you, but I'm in love with her

"Your Mummy died in the night".

'So sorry there is nothing more we can do'

To me and DH as our beautiful DC died.

Its terminal....take her home and have a good christmas...

Said to me by a doctor who had just diagnosed by mum with secondary liver cancer....she died 9 months later aged 52.

for all your losses and sad stories.

A happier one I hope
"I should just see if has any vacancies" said by me to my mum whilst bitching about the job I hated and my idiot boss. 14 weeks later I got on the plane and haven't looked back!

Well you arent the first and you wont be the last and yes you can keep him. Said by my Mum to me when i had DS.

Dont worry you will always be Blossom in my eyes. Said by my Grandad to me when i had DS.

My left foot is itching. The very last thing my Mum wrote because she couldnt speak anymore before she died from cancer. I still have the piece of paper she wrote it on.

for everyone
