This isn't the post I had planned to write today. I had planned to write a post where I talk about my weight.
This isn't even the post I had planned to write today instead of the post where I talk about my weight, because that's a difficult post to write. I was going to write a post about how I'm feeling sorry for myself. I do have a cold you know. And I've got a sore finger.
Then I read all the posts about the Pampers/UNICEF campaign: 1 Pack = 1 Vaccine.
Then I cried.
I didn't cry for myself, I realise how lucky I am to have two healthy children. I cried for the poor babies that die needlessly each year from tetanus. I cried for their mothers and I cried for those women that also contract the disease and leave their children orphaned.
My tetanus is up to date, so the puncture wound on my finger that I got yesterday from fiddling with a pushchair will not kill me.
So I'd like to thank Carol at New Mummy for snapping me out of my self-pity. She has tagged me with the Gift of Life.

Brilliant post lovely. Am sending huge great enormous hugs. I didn't write that post either. x
ReplyDeleteUnrelated comment really, Sandy. I just wanted to say how I enjoyed the story you read out on Monday and how I'm very jealous of how well I know you'll do at Jenn's classes...
