The older my children get, I find myself...with increasing frequency, starting sentences with a phrase I thought I’d never say: “When I was your age…” Yup, nothing says you’re old like those words, which have been uttered by old people since the Industrial Revolution. Usually, “when I was your age” serves as a cop-out for my cheapness. I say things like, “When I was your age, I only had two shoes” (commonly known as one pair), or “When I was your age, we only had four channels, and one of them was in French. ” But there is one statement that I wish to shout from a roof top. It is: “When I was your age, the toys were better.” If you look at some of the top toys on this years Christmas wish lists, you see cheap plastic crap that I am loathe to buy for Lochlan. I miss the toys of my childhood, all of which I wish my parents still had. Yes, with five children, had they kept our toys, they would now have a moderate-sized toy collection, a Narnia closet leading to Fisher Price Land, that wo
Oh Janet.....I am so so so sorry. What a waste of emotions/drugs/heartache/stress for the past month. I cannot imagine how devastated you must be.
ReplyDeleteThere are no words. I'm so sorry, Janet.
ReplyDeleteI am so upset and pissed off for you! I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh no!! I can't imagine how sad and hurt you must feel right now. I can't believe this is happening. Can't you catch a break?! I'm so very sorry....hugs. I honestly don't know what to say. His is heartbreaking !
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read this news. I've followed your blog for months and cannot believe that this happened. I am so sorry.
Oh Janet I am so sorry this happened. I have been hoping for the best for you.
ReplyDeleteOK, WTF??? How did that happen??? I am so sorry you have to go through this. I call BULLSHIT!
ReplyDeleteOh Janet, this is horrible news, I'm so so sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh Janet, I'm so sorry to hear this. Will your clinic offer any sort of compensation?
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry. you must be devastated.
ReplyDeleteMo
Thinking of you my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I woke up thinking about you today. I am so so sorry - I would be so upset too. I felt sure it would turn around - it's just terribly unjust.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry this happened. It is just not fair.
ReplyDeleteOh. I am so incredibly sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh Janet, this is so terrible. I am so sorry to hear this. Thinking of both of your.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I am so so sorry. This is just awful, and so unfair.
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so sorry. This kind of thing just shouldn't happen. Awful and unfair doesn't begin to cover it.
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog in my own hope that if it works for you, just maybe it will work for me. This whole journey with the transfer and this terrible outcome is just devasting, unfair, terrible. My heart goes out to you as it also breaks for you.
ReplyDeleteHow awful. I can't even begin to imagine how that happened. So sorry.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could even imagine the emotions/heartbreak you guys have gone through with this. All I can even offer is positive thoughts, lots and lots of em! You guys deserve a tiny person (or two!) to call your own.
ReplyDeleteMy second thought: did the clinic put some kind of insurance on the courier transer? Someone has to be held responsible for this, and it sure as heck isn't you!
I'm so so sorry.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you - I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you... this is devastating news. So sorry for what you're going through... love and thoughts xoxo
ReplyDeleteoh god Janet this is horrible. I am so sorry and can't imagine what you guys must be feeling.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry Janet... I can't even imagine..my heart is so heavy for you ...
ReplyDeletePlease feel the love and the hugs...all the way from NC... :-(
NO. No no no no no no no no no no no. NO. Having a bit of a cry for you over here. That is horrid horrid horrid news. You have some massive hugs heading to you from me and I will be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI have been silently following for the past few weeks. All I can say is what EmHart said. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, honey. *HUG* Are you allergic to anything? I'd like to send you a treat with your socks in hopes of giving you at least a tiny smile. (Also, can you email your address and shoe size to JessieByko at gmail dot com?)
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Janet. How devastating.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you and extremely pissed for you!
