What I want to comment on is that you're so pretty and you look so natural holding that infant. I like you instantly. From your kindness from your writing and now seeing you with the baby. Your humanity just shines through.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015888228309968515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13365998.post-55833652704858096732015-04-05T15:02:35.059-07:002015-04-05T15:02:35.059-07:00Just how big was that baby?

At one time I would have loved to be a midwife but labor and delivery scared me during my nurses training. Now I care for those leaving this world.<br /><br />And worries, yeah, I worry too. I think that's universal.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13365998.post-87107479928555292482015-04-04T19:41:51.558-07:002015-04-04T19:41:51.558-07:00Beth, you are not alone in your feelings.

I don't go to get my hair done or buy jewelry. I don't remember the last time I bought new clothes with the exception of scrubs for work. I was angry. I work for the sole purpose of eating and keeping a roof over my head. I am tired every single day. It is discouraging. I am angry because I checked all the boxes. I got married and had babies and got an education and I pay all my bills every month. I don't break the law. I don't smoke or drink or do illegal drugs. Shouldn't I get something for all that? Apparently the answer is no. One of my nurse leaders thinks I should become an LPN but I wonder if it is worth it because then I am stuck with student loans. The newest thing in my province is you lose your drivers license if you don't pay back your student loan on time. WTF?<br /><br />OK, I have grumbled enough. I do understand. We are supposed to live in the best countries in the world and yet....Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479872783727855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13365998.post-75511055513041593172015-04-04T18:24:10.557-07:002015-04-04T18:24:10.557-07:00Suffering is universal, and I just hope the acknow...Suffering is universal, and I just hope the acknowledgement of our own sometimes limited perspective is enough to not damn those of us who are so privileged. Does that make sense? That photo of you with that big baby is incredible. What's most incredible is that you're 65!!!! You look far younger -- not just physically but light-wise, coming out of your eyes and pores. And that baby has to be the luckiest little person in the world right now to have been ushered in by the likes of you.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
