I have been a bit absent in the blog reading department these past few weeks and so I am playing catch up - I never ever in a zillion years expected to read something like this. I am so so sorry hun you are going through this with your gorgeous girl. How terrifying for you. <br />Please try and stay strong hun - I wish there was something I could do or say to help relieve that stress for you, but I know I cant. So instead I am sending you so much love and and hope that this is resolved as quickly as possible for you and Missy. xxxLife Love and Hiccupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03283618400442819761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187678194891123194.post-70092775729689579262012-11-09T12:51:51.168+08:002012-11-09T12:51:51.168+08:00I hope everything is okay with Missi now!
I know ...I hope everything is okay with Missi now!<br /><br />I know how you feel a little bit- my Mum is in Broome, my sister is in Tasmania and pretty all the rest of our family is in England. I do see my mum a lot though as she flies down for Drs appts every month or so but thats different because shes there when the appt is, not when i need her. But at least she's just a phonecall away (super handy since shes a nurse).

My mother's group consists of me and four other lovely ladies, who ALL happen to have their parents overseas. And I see how painful it is for them not to have their Mum or Dad around, especially during those newborn days or when the babies are sick or teething etc... It is definitely something a lot of people take for granted, having their parents around to help out. I feel very lucky to have my Mama living relatively close by, but unlike lots of my friends, I can't depend on her too often, as she's quite elderly. In saying that, I still get to see her regularly and I would find it almost impossible to think of having her all the way on the other side of the world.<br />Hope you're able to squeeze another trip back home in sooner than later my friend xoxoAll For Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151973819133926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187678194891123194.post-82811716426549629672012-11-03T18:52:37.394+08:002012-11-03T18:52:37.394+08:00Oh Shar.

We don't have kids yet but I still miss them being around for all the exciting things that happen in the everyday, to have dinner with them, have a coffee. We make these choices though. Being a grown up stinks sometimes xxLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814843842853806511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187678194891123194.post-50917644155293993552012-11-02T11:38:40.043+08:002012-11-02T11:38:40.043+08:00Oh Shar you poor thing, hope you and Missi are doi...Oh Shar you poor thing, hope you and Missi are doing OK. You are well and justified to chuck a tanty and want your Mum.

I know exactly what you mean about wanting your Mum - as you know, we made the decision to move back to be nearer to family in England because of that very reason. It is hard not being close, but equally it's amazing how your own coping mechanisms kick in when they are needed. I hope Missi is ok, I'm sure she will be. You just keep doing what you're doing and use that lovely husband of yours as much as you need to. xAnna @ green tea n toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915960873730826839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187678194891123194.post-80140642566265376012012-11-02T05:51:27.330+08:002012-11-02T05:51:27.330+08:00Oh Shar I didn't know this was going on with M...Oh Shar I didn't know this was going on with Missi - that's really scary and having an extra family member around to 'carry the burden' would be ideal right about now. I'm in the same boat with regards to having NO family whatsoever on this island. Our choice and 99% of the time I'm happy about that - that little stretch of water called Bass Strait can sometimes be a blessing. However, on the odd occasion where it would be really handy to drop the kids off for an hour or 2 to 'Mum's" when I have my head down the toilet etc are the times I wish I had someone to do that. Yes, I get jealous too when friends seem to be able to do that whenever they need too - totally normal!My friends are great, we do help each other out but like you said, they have their own (many) kids as well. On the bright side, I have noticed that some friends who get a lot of help from family members tend to fall in a heap if grandma isn't available at the drop of a hat whenever they encounter a small inconvenience (or there seems to be strings attached which they complain about) so I feel good about not having this dependence on a regular basis. Still, totally normal to feel the way you do - I could really do with some help now, can hardly move carrying this big load and have to wait till weekends when the hubby can help do all the housework - would love to give him a break too :-)<br />More importantly, hope Missi is OK (and can you at least Skype or call your Mum & sis?).

They couldn't explain it but he was fine (and still is 4 years later). <br /><br />I get jealous of people with siblings. My brother and I did this..., my sisters and I etc etc... It's the only thing I'm really jealous of.
