And you can bet your ass that I will love them fierce. Even when they hate my face so hard & think I'm a bit of a dick. I will teach them to laugh & appreciate every moment of their life.
I also want to teach my future crotch rockets that it's completely okay to cry & feel compassion & sympathy for strangers suffering their own tragedy.
Kinda like I did this morning.
There was fire in a mall in Qatar. 19 people perished. 3 of these people that died were 2 year old NZ triplets, Lillie, Jackson & Willsher Weekes. They were in the care of a child care centre located within Doha Mall.

As I sat on the couch this morning, applying my outside face & getting ready to tackle my outside world, I watched a news report of an impromptu vigil held in nearby park in Qatar for those that died in the fire. 1500 people attended. Including some ex-pat kiwis & Martin & Jane Weekes, the devastated parents of these 3 beautiful babies.
As 2 ex countrymen stood holding a large NZ flag, a group of New Zealanders stood before a sobbing Mr & Mrs Weekes & sung a waiata & performed the Haka. In times of darkness we rely on each other for love & support. To lift each other up. Ya know, like the Lion King. You can watch the news report here. For a full version of the Haka please click here.
This ripped me to pieces. I cried so dam hard.
I don't know these people from jack, but I am completely heartbroken for them. Cos babies shouldn't die. Not before they've had a chance to share their spark with the world & experience the joys of life.
I don't really have much else to say today. Except wherever you are in the world today, spare a quiet thought for Jane & Martin.
You don't know them, but that doesn't matter. Cos it's okay to cry & feel compassion & sympathy for strangers suffering their own tragedy.
And this my friends, is a tragedy of epic proportion.
Hold your babies close people.
Peace & love
P.S I will be back with Fun Becky & Asshole Sessions Part 3 later this week. It's going to be a cracker.
as a mum of one I have no fucking words. hug the ones you love x Claire
ReplyDeleteso true.. never stop telling those you love that you love them, cuz you never know when they'll be gone.
ReplyDeleteI read this in the news yesterday - when something like this happens you can't help but cry. It's the worst sort of tragedy. Yes, hold your babies close ... and if you don't have any, like me, protect and care for all children, no matter whom they belong to.
ReplyDeleteOh shame shame, so sad. I'm holding my boys. And I think you'd make a great Mum also.
ReplyDeleteAs has become my mantra since the sudden death of my sister last year, "Never miss an opportunity to say I Love You". You never know when it may be your last.
ReplyDeleteYou will be a fabulous mom
Oh man. This is such a sad story. Their parents must be just destroyed. I am in tears over here. I just have no words. Things like this stab my cold black mom's heart and makes just a little emotion eek out. But really, I feel for the parents and just don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to my boys. I hugged them this morning when I left work, but I will be sure to hug them extra tight when I get home.
ReplyDeleteThat is too sad for words... I just gave my kids extra lovins. It's important to remember how much they mean to you, even when they are acting like assholes.
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Your blog doesn't like me.. it won;t let me comment. I'll try again though. That fire was horrible, just horrible. I have 3 kids and can't even begin to imagine what those poor parents are going through. To lose one child would be heartbreaking, but to lose 3 at once, horrifying to even imagine.

ReplyDeleteYes! Herpes is curable like wise other viruses. My outbreak came out of Herpes past two years as of 19/05/2018. I was scared when phamatical therepist told me i could not be cured permanently. I was frustrated, have to limit me traveling to where i was expected. HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUSE, and other common viruses like the HIV/AIDS, Diabetes, CANCER,etc,are real and dangerous if not well taken care of. Though, i suffered alots and i have to stay home mostly and with the current pandemic, i became interested with natural herbs products. As God could make his ways, i found a beautiful girl,who testimony touches me how she has had suffered with CANCER for 7years, and another who testify how the same Herbalist Dr. Odey cures all those viruses with his Herbal medicine.
I had to contact him directly to welbin some parcel through the DHL service, within a week a received the medicine sent and apply as instructed for the period of 60days, twice a day, the reaction tells me i found the Dr. Whom need to be known for his good work. God bless you Dr Odey Abang for another opportunity to be free.
