And reading these comments have enlightened me somewhat to the sort of person she apparently was.

I find it a bit difficult to weep over someone that had talent and fabulous opportunities in life and threw it all away on drugs, when there are people who are faced with - and have overcome - enormous challenges that they had no choice over.<br /><br />It makes more sense to focus on Stephen Hawking, Joni Eareckson Tada, Jamie MacIntyre, Mark Inglis, and folks like them. Don't know who they are? Google them for a lift! <br /><br />Inspiration over desperation every time.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-11071587171659950462011-07-25T10:41:25.875+01:002011-07-25T10:41:25.875+01:00Very much enjoying seeing the photos of your new f...Very much enjoying seeing the photos of your new family member.

I was thinking this morning how tragedy seems never at a distance anymore, it is always everywhere at once thanks to technology. Meanwhile our own small tragedies and joys occupy us.<br /><br />Oh how I LOVE the baby, please please email me and tell me his name?

I missed this wonderful event unfolding. Congratulations to you and K and all your family. I think in the midst of the weekend's bad news, it is important to celebrate happy events like your grandchild's arrival. Hooray!
