Stirly didn't say "fuck." Made lots of posts on this thread and not one "fuck" til now. FUCK, FUCK FUCK. Three FUCKS - one for each of our wee girlies. Our granddaughter, our grandniece and for our grandniece that never got to be born. Our first grandchild - a gorgeous little girl - was born last November. I've sent pics to a few of my close "friends" here at MWO and they all agree that she is a beautiful baby. And she's smart as well, a real crackerjack. Now here's the thing - the fingers on her right hand didn't develop properly in the womb and instead of regular fingers as she has on her left hand, her right palm is a little smaller than the left and the thumb is half the length it should be with no fingernail but obviously has bone in it as she uses it to pull levers and press buttons. The other "fingers" on that hand are basically little stumps and from what I've noticed, probably only have cartilage in them, no joint or anything attached to the palm since she can bend them both back and front. Okay, so it's not such a huge thing we all said, she'll learn to do things her own way - which she already is. But it's a fucking shame that she was born that way. No sign of it on an ultrasound - only found out after she was born that the fingers hadn't formed properly . Huge shock for all of us but devastating for her parents and especially her mother who has taken it very hard indeed. But she is a beautiful, intelligent little darling and we love her to pieces. A couple of months before she was born, we found out that our younger niece was pregnant for the first time and we were over the moon for her. Her older sister already had a daughter 9 years old and when we found that this wee one was a girl as well, the whole family was so excited. Christmas of 2014 would find us with three darling girls to celebrate Christmas with. First week of January, we found out that the fetus had spina bifida. The ultrasound showed an external sac (contains spinal fluid) and that her one shoulder wasn't developing properly. Not knowing to what extent her shoulder would be deformed and how seriously her movement could be affected by the spina bifida - can be as severe as paralysis - her parents opted to terminate the pregnancy. Their decision, respected by all. Yesterday they learned that her 10-year old cousin, who has been on antibiotics since three due to reoccurring urinary tract infections due to an anomaly in the urinary tract, has fucking thyroid cancer. THYROID CANCER?? AT 10 YEARS OLD?? FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!!! How do these fucking things happen? I just don't understand...

Thanks Dreamy. Have totally accepted our granddaughter's wee hand and it's a joy to see what she can do in spite of her underdeveloped fingers, but our grandniece with fucking cancer is just so fucking sad....Originally posted by DreamThinkDo View PostFor every 60 seconds that you are angry, you lose a minute of happiness.

Oh Stirly - my heart is breaking for you :hug:
I don't understand why children have cancer either. It's just bloody needlessly cruel and unfair.There's two ways of looking at the holes in your shoes
You can dig the ventilation... or you can sing the blues

Me neither, Glassy. This little girl has already gone through enough with many UTI's and several hospital stays. She has been raised as much by her grandparents (Mr. Stirly's brother and wife) and maybe more, as by her parents. They are all devastated and searching, as we are, for answers and a miracle.Originally posted by Glass Half Empty View Post
Mr. Stirly had bowel cancer surgery over two and a half years ago and his brother - the little girl's grandfather - had skin cancer surgery last summer on both shins. Both successful operations, thankfully. And a friend of ours recently had a kidney removed due to cancer. Along with the cancerous tumor, the kidney weighed 2 kilos. Cancer sucks, big time.Originally posted by roxane View Post
It's just all around us, Molls. A neighbour of ours, her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and her fucking husband up and left her. Jesus, I just have a hard time trying to comprehend it all....Originally posted by mollyka View PostFor every 60 seconds that you are angry, you lose a minute of happiness.
