Sitting here on my PDA
Sitting at airport waiting for the plane that has my man on to arrive even on a Wednesday the Airport is busy with a whole different range of people with different lifestyles.
I find my mind wondering to blackspots reply to my men and money post about the personal price being to high for him and wondering whether it is the same for most?
There’s a lady sitting in front of me with what I would assume is her son since he called her mum. She’s crying they just called his plane she’s hugs him tells him to be safe and he looks down at her, smiles and says he’ll be home soon and promises to stay safe. He’s on his way to army training she tells me as she apologizes for the scene.
She waits for him to board the plane then silent her tears fall and when he’s boarded she turns to me again and says I begged him not to enlist with the way the worlds going he’s bound to have to go to war one day.
She says goodbye to me and I sit silently thanking god I don’t have to deal with that. The plane leaves and I find myself praying to god knows who that he will be able to carry out his promise and come home safe!
Really puts my shit into prospective that’s for sure. How dare I be unhappy about my life at any point I do have it very easy. I look up and see my man walking through the doors and think thank god I only have this to deal with!

But they are a delight, they have a unique way of looking at the world which sustains us through the bad times. And like you Nikki, I know that there are a lot of people far worse off in the world, so I cant and never will complain either on my own behalf or theirs
Im envious of people who's children are still alive but would never complain about my lot either. I was very fortunate to have the child that I did, if only for 20 months, and am grateful every day for all of my lifes small blessings, which are many. I also believe absolutely that everything happens for a reason, either in or out of our control.
Nice Blackspot.
