Oh, Gillian, you're growing so much - and so fast - in your compassion and understanding. I'm thinking of you, and thinking on the wonders of the human spirit. Where pain triggers misery & violence, it makes news. But far more often, our distress teaches us to see beyond (and through) the problem ... to become a little more god-like, if you wish.
I believe you have the patience and understanding; I believe you already know they'll need it. All children do, no matter their age! They're lucky to have you, and you're lucky to be well supported and loved. I'm praying (in my way) for extra solace to help you take this slight in your stride - and for some extra helpings of life's small gifts, to remind you what's great about this world and you in it
Wishing you peace, equanimity and love.
