Luck, choice, hard work

This term has been hard.
There has been so much variety and I have seen an unacceptable level of poverty and privilege.
Here I am.
The holidays loom and I don't quite know what will keep me busy.

Keep my mind off it all.

Touching death

I cried in the bath yesterday. I cried because I know I'm going to miss part of my daughter's life.
Tonight I cried because I felt like I'm going to miss more of it.
I have to realise I can't be there always.
Her dad will be fantastic
Her dad will hold her and love her
And he'll tell her when she needs telling
I'm so scared I'll miss it all
