To use an old cliché, he isn't a baby anymore - yet he'll always be your baby. Always, always.<BR/><BR/>I second Fifi's suggestion to visit New Zealand (or someplace) and get a change of scene. You deserve a break.<BR/><BR/>Happy birthday, M!Tanya Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919250829858831002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-63369569346555412552007-05-26T07:19:00.000+10:002007-05-26T07:19:00.000+10:00I know what you mean about hurting for them.

It's my daughter's birthday tommorrow :)<BR/><BR/>It seems funny to me, Meggie, that I am ten years younger than your son, and I still know exactly how you feel about your child being hurt. Sometimes I could cry at the thought of the world hurting any of my children.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I didn't comment yesterday, but a lot of the time my house is crazy messy. I have badly stained carpet (slated for removal and tiles instead), a chaotic kitchen and messy, happy kids ;)<BR/><BR/>Love, EmmaEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741677537472357815noreply@blogger.com
