better angels

A month after I got married, A (the ex-SO and father to my lost babies) also got married.  She is 17 years younger than him and in the prime of childbearing life.  And yesterday afternoon A emailed me to say that his son was born at the weekend.

I am completely happy with my life as it is now, I wouldn't change S for anything and being childless no longer bears the same sharp pain as it used to.  And I am happy that A has got everything he ever wanted.

But oh, reader, how I am struggling with how to word my congratulatory email to A.  Because deep, deep inside I can't help but think "it isn't fair".  I want my better angels to surface and take hold but they appear to be AWOL...

30 day journal days 10 and 11

Another blinding migraine yesterday meant that I skipped a day, so lucky interwebs you get two posts for the price of one today.

Day 10: a photo of you taken over 10 years ago.
This was taken on Christmas Day 1976, I was aged 8 and had been given that doll by my my parents. Even then I wanted a baby...


Day 11: a photo of you taken recently.
This was taken 3 months ago. I know, I'm cheating - but this is an anonymous blog :-)
