Question
This afternoon I had 'girl-time'.
~This entails a long hot bath with the compulsary bubbles (obviously carefully washed away after bath) and the watching of weepy film.
Beaches. The Bette Midler classic. ...you know the one, two friends, met as children, argue over man, one friend dies, leaves child to other, unsuitable but clearly going to shape up for motherhood to orphan, friend. The song "Did you ever know that your my hero?" much girl crying.
I reciently read a book....recomended my Richard and Judy no less! "My Best Friends Girl" pretty much the same story, but without the singing. I picked it up when I went to bed and started reading it about 11pm. At 01.30 I went for a cup of tea because I couldnt take it any more, as I went to go downstairs I caught sight of myself in the mirror and realised that the gentle crying I thought I had been doing had clearly been more than that, as my eyes were really red and my face was all blotchy. No more, I thought, while drinking my tea, however the enevitable happened, and I picked up the book again when I went back to bed and finally finished reading it at just before 3am.
It made me think. If I died Small would obviously go and live with her dad, (who would be marvelous) but if he wasnt there and all my family had died in the same freak accident that I was in, where would she go?
I know where I would want her to be. And who deserves her. And who she deserves, the only slight snag is that this person would have an enormous hissy fit at the very idea, sputtering"get that child away from me!"
What this person doesn't realise is that despite really not wanting children (REALLY not wanting them) they would be the perfect people to have Small. (apart from the obvious child-hating) Small would grow up as I would want her to. With sound values and morals, around people that loved her (you'd hope that would happen in time!) with humour and fun and fresh air. And with someone that would really *get* her.
I mentioned, in passing-like you do, this to the person in question who nearly had a heart attack, however after much spluttery deliberation she agreed, that if I died, as did all my family, and friends, and everyone else I knew, in the same freaky accident then yes Small could live with, and be loved by them.
So, there's a result...dont you think? !! ? no need to worry about that anymore then! excelent.
