today I saw something that made me realise lifes value...

[Shhhh]

A funneral hearse drove past our home (live on a housing estate..) and it seems it went to a house just around the corner...

I past it again as it came out of the estate and what saddened me most was the little boy sat up front with I guess his daddy....Im guessing he has lost his mother. It choked me slightly as the little boy was around ds's age (13 months)..Just made me realise how precious and unfair life can be.

I feel a bit wrong posting here as it hasn't been somthing related to me iykwim but its gutted me....DD is nearly 3 and ds just over 1 yr and its only today that I think more...

Sometimes it takes something very sad to help as appreciate all that we have

That's soooo true, feedmenow.

some thing like that is always like a boot up the backside for me.

thats very sad

It so does - i have a friend i lost touch with years ago and i read in the paper her son aged 10 died of an asthma attack playing football last week - funeral today. I have thought about little else all day and feel really for her.

How dreadful, Nappyzone. A friend of ours lost an 11-year-old at Christmas in a freak accident and it knocked our whole community for six. You could almost cut the sadness with a knife.

yesterday I was really down....couldn't stop thinking about it..
Yorkiegirl, i always think of you and your loss. xx

We all need a kick up the backside at times, and seeing something like that really does. I will never forget seeing the hearse arrive outside my house, seeing al my elderly neighbours close their curtains, horrible horrible day. Yorkiegirl, love to you, its nice to see you about, another brave lady, xx
