Sam knew, as anybody will know, that when you wake up ….. and smell your dead father right beside you, then you know the shifty shadow of God is lurking. And Sam knew damnwell that when the shifty shadow is about, you roll yourself a smoke and stay under the sheet and don't move till you see what happens.
- Tim Winton, Cloudstreet. Perhaps I moved when I shouldn't have. How else do you explain the last 2 years? Creation. Birth. Death. Hope. Disappointment. Anger. Jealousy. And Love.
sounds like things are full on at the moment.... I too know about trying to be the person you want to be when working with kids during the day, but sometimes I just am not there...
but I comment because I found the apology so moving and powerful and well there is some progress in the world that makes me smile through tears. Thanks for sharing it. Your link was more powerful than reading headlines (particularly since I no longer live in Australia and my current location's news didn't cover it as much as I wanted)

Thanks for your comments on my blog. I'm so sorry about your little girl.
no worries lady.
You write very poetically. I love this:
"Over the summer he told me that his grandma, who made him meatballs, was up in heaven and that she would take care of you."
.... meatballs hey......
