I know we all do it. Get wound up about things that don't really matter in the great scheme of things or in the great scheme of our lives. Worry about little things. Such a waste of energy. Only when we are faced with truely serious stuff do we remember!!
The one good thing about Spanish families is the support system.
I don't know if I'll be able to see her tomorrow as we are making a stop over at my parent's house in the same village on our way up to Barcelona. We'll be too late for the funeral ...
May be we'll be able to see her on our way back ...
A cousin of mine in her late forties who has spent her adult life looking after her parents including their business which she has been running for years now ...
She had never really had time for romance much + she had not found the right one anyhow. She finally met her match about 2 years ago or so ... They decided to start a family in spite of her age, they married and they had a baby who was born in June.
The sad part is that while she was pregnant they discovered that her husband had stomach cancer. He quickly became very ill. I have just found out that he has passed away and his funeral is tomorrow. Their baby is 3 months old.
My heart goes out to my cousin. I can't even begin to imagine the heartache she must be going through ...
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo guys don't sweat the small stuff!!!!!! It spoils what would otherwise be a beautiful day and we never know what's around the corner!!!
My daughter was born on her paternal grandmother's b/day by coincidence. She was also born by planned C-Section but the date had to be brought forward for medical reasons so she ended up sharing her Nan's b/day!!!!!!
C-sections are not always bad news. Both my kids were born that way. It's one of those things. The goos news about c-sections once mums have recovered from the surgery is that "things down there" are exactely as they were before the birth.
I agree with Kidda on the date thing ... Do it on the date that's best for baby and Mum. May it all go well for both of them!!!
Agree!! Use Skype instead of phone for long conversations. It's exactly the same but free!!!!
And if things progress but you are far apart you can also use webcam to see one another while you talk.
Also bril for communicating with family and talking while seeing how they are or how much they've grown for (grand)kids!!! So much more personal than phone!!!!
Totally agree ... not sure we always have to "move on" as long as both (in the couple) allow space for own growth of each other within the relationship ... However, if the self-growth goes in completely opposite directions then parting could become inevitable ...
Coming to spend time with you sounds delightful!!! I'd love to come with the kids but I can't make it on that date. Will call you soon and arrange another date. Anyway .... I am eally looking forward to JUST us YOU ME AND THE KIDS spending time together AND the kids can be the centre of attention and get spoiled!!! hahahahaha! Play her at her own game about "spending time with the grandkids"
