Just a quick one from me as the babies have been a bit fractious the past day -

First off, I'm not big on the drama mongering for other people or anything, but there are two people out there who, I think, could use some support and love.

That Girl, who stops by often here, has been caring for her son with HLHS. Her lovely son - just 2 years old - lost the battle with HLHS this weekend and he died in her arms. If you have a moment, your condolences may help her know that she is not alone.

If you've been reading my site a long time then you'll know Jim. Jim, who stopped blogging when his work got very hectic, is a great man and someone with one of the biggest hearts in the world. I got an email from Diamond Dave (also a chap with a big heart) - Jim's great love, his wife Jessie, was killed by a drunk driver this weekend.

I can't imagine how either of them are feeling, my heart hurts for them both. I know that a comment or an email doesn't make it all better, it doesn't make it all go away, and I wish like hell it could. I just hope maybe support will give some comfort, no matter how small. If you can, a word of kindness won't go amiss.

And in our house we have a visit from the health visitor on Friday. I'm glad we do. I think we need to talk to her. It seems the magic might indeed be draining away. We are - both of us - sliding towards a deep depression, in ourselves and with each other, and no amount of talking seems to stop it even though we both want to find our way back up and out again.

-H.
