The Happy Thread

[cookie1]

I am tearfully happy. I was listening to the radio and the Channel 7 helicopter had spotted one of 3 fisherman off the coast at Leeman who has been missing. They were describing how he was just  managing to keep afloat and they had driven a shark off that was circling him. They directed a rescue boat to him and the poor man didn't even have the strength to climb aboard. It was heart wrenching actually listening to it happening. He kept waving at them but didn't realise they couldn't winch him up. I was listening with baited breath, hoping he wouldn't go under before the boat got to him. When they got him onboard he just collapsed on the boat. They have found one more and I do so hope they find the other one.
It was so very emotional listening to it actually happen. I've just heard that one is seriously injured and the other is in need of medical attention. No mention of the third yet.

Not quite so happy now, one has died, still looking for the third.

Hope they find the 3rd too Cookie.

Happy today as Miss 5 badley wanted to go to breakfast club (a breakfast at school, they do it once a week, free.) so this week I let her go, well the darling child told me this morning she didn't want to go again " cuz you make way yummerer breakfasts." 

[Amy :-)]

Oh cookie, what a blessing for that man and his family. I really hope they find the third man.

Astarra, I love hearing about your girls, they are gorgeous

I am very happy today because I got a letter from my 9-year-old sponsor child in India. She is a beautiful young girl and I'm so happy that she writes to me and tells me what she's doing

[astarra]

How cute Amy - have you been sponsering her for long? 

[Amy :-)]

Two years now

[dede]

I'm happy cause my Sister is allowed to stay home on bed rest
Will mean I have my nephew several days a week, but she has also organized childcare so I will be able to continue working from home without to much disruption. Fingers crossed now for a few more weeks (almost 29 weeks now)

[Amy :-)]

I have my toes crossed for her too Mandi

[dede]

She feels fine, and baby is growing beautifully, she looks well and is being positive. So we are all pretty confident that things will be fine.

[Amy :-)]

This is going to be a very special baby

[dede]

Yep she is, my little nephew is a special baby too, he was born 10 weeks early and had lots of trouble breathing, got meningitis, pneumonia and a staf infection, he then got a hernia and had to have an op to fix that all before he was even supposed to be born. But he's now a very active 2.5 year old who loves his dede (But I can't blame him)

[astarra]

Awesome news dede - have been lurking the forum waiting for news of her! 

[dede]

Next scan on Tuesday. But we can only take day by day. And I'm on standby ready to go when needed.

[Cornish Cream]

Good news so far about your sister Dede.

[Merrilyn]

I have my fingers crossed for her too Mandi.  Hope she stays well and bub stays put a bit longer.
