Sorry to follow a really awful upset with something trivial.

I've just seen that the preview screening of Torchwood: Miracle Day (plus panel discussion incliding Russel T Davies, Eye Myles and JB afterwards) at the BFI is sold out.
I knew it would sell out quickly, but when I checked on Thursday there were still about 30% seats free.

I already owe Mum & Dad for the vet bill, so I couldn't ask them for more.
I just kept my fingers crossed there might be a single seat, towards the back, still available on payday...?

It was always unlikely, and after all it's only been a few days that I've been thinking about it, but I feel really upset. My whole stomach has dropped and the light has gone out of my day. I honestly feel like something longed planned and hoped for has been cancelled last minute.

Maybe I need to get my medication reviewed.

This:

15-year-old. Didn't know him but could so easily be a kid I know or my kid. Unclear exactly what happened, but bets are on horsing around like 15yo kids do, hit his head, freak accident/repercussions, now dead. It shouldn't do but it seems to add to it that he's a hockey goalie like my kid and just got signed to the OHL like my kid dreams of...... makes me want to wrap my kids in cotton wool to keep them safe, but that's no life to live either.

Sucks. We've all done stupid stuff like that as teenagers. As a parent, you can try to give your kids the tools to make good decisions, but they are going to make mistakes. And it's just brutal dumb luck that sometimes the bad decisions have serious consequences, and sometimes they don't. It's terrifying.

I did, however, just email my goalie son and tell him not to keep jumping on his knees like he did in the puddle last night. Some stupidity maybe we can help protect against? I haven't given up hope. But I am saddened today.

If anyone is interested in the journey the great CWB has taken us on in the last 6 months you can see his wife's blog.

I read much of that last week & read the rest today.

So sad. I feel for the daughter, but maybe since she is only two that it won't be as hard or - I dunno. Maybe that makes it worse.

I'm sorry for everyone on this thread but misery loves company>

My working cow dog is right now having surgery for a bowel obstruction. They gave him a 60% chance.

Agreed, it is very sad. The 2 y.o. won't remember a thing.
