In fact, much of it focused on the death of a much-loved child and on how unimaginably awful it is to lose your child, full stop. Jenni Russell expressed it best in The Guardian and also dared to address the subject you mentioned, and very well too I thought.<BR/><BR/>"The public discussion of Ivan had its limits, though. One friend of the family says that what people don't realise is that the couple have long lived with the knowledge that Ivan might die at any time. His health was so frail that any fit or minor illness – and both were frequent – threatened it. But that knowledge won't have made his death any easier to bear. <BR/><BR/>"People frequently speak of the death of someone who is sick or disabled as a release. It's more complicated than that. Someone who is confused or in pain can still feel the worth of life, and have moments of real joy. And even if their lives are a struggle, losing them is still shattering for those who love them. Our love for others, and our tenderness towards them, is not determined by whether they function just as we do".<BR/><BR/>http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/25/conservatives-nhs<BR/><BR/>Mr Cameron expressed this so vividly when he spoke of his son. In a piece on the BBC News website, one woman wrote that her severely disabled son had taught her the value of unselfish love. I thought of you when I read that and of how you had said that Mog brings Love and how, for the Camerons, their son must have been just the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411253170651203836.post-50901177170143989192009-02-25T22:53:00.000+00:002009-02-25T22:53:00.000+00:00HugsKxHugs<BR/><BR/>KxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411253170651203836.post-50449013155998105012009-02-25T22:20:00.000+00:002009-02-25T22:20:00.000+00:00Amen!Amen!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597768004706150862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411253170651203836.post-23756571375453628022009-02-25T21:31:00.000+00:002009-02-25T21:31:00.000+00:00I went to school to cath also. What I had to cons...I went to school to cath also. What I had to consider was How many people do I want to cath Emily? I wanted 1-one person. I didn't want several people working on her private parts. So, if Emily's assistant at school was sick I would either go cath her, or she would stay home from school. After a number of years Emily qualified for nursing care again and now her nurse goes to school with her. <BR/><BR/>Michelle & EmilyMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792180719680963701noreply@blogger.com
