This sort of put things into perspective a little.
Discussion
This happened a couple of weeks ago, but I just thought to post it here.
I was at a night club with the wife, my annual venture into chavvery. Wifey and I had just entered a small club/pub, when I saw a youngish guy pushing what appeared to be a babies buggy past us.
A little later he reappeared, and in the buggy was what I thought was a small child, but turned out to be a young woman, maybe in her early 30's, blond hair, quite attractive, but that was where it got a bit odd. She had a red strapless frock on, but no arms, and no body from about the waist down. The one shoulder her pretty red dress revealed was just a smooth nub that she could move a bit.
But her face, her face was a big smile, she was happy, she looked happy and contented. I couldn't stop watching her, and I wanted to talk to her, but I was with my wife and she was with a small group of friends who passed her drink to her every now and again.
I'm not even sure why I'm posting this, but I seem to think of that woman several times every day. At the time I was having trouble with an annoying painful shoulder problem, but it all paled into insignificance when I saw this radiant woman having a happy night out despite the 'challenges' that fate has issued to her.
That's all, move along, nothing to see here.

There is always someone worse of than yourself.
A close friend has just lost his second partner in 3 years, both due to cancer, puts everything else into perspective really.
To lose one partner is careless, to lose a second........?A close friend has just lost his second partner in 3 years, both due to cancer, puts everything else into perspective really.
(Yes, I know I'mn already on the slippery slope to hell so this comment will only grease the slope ever so slightly).

Not too often I hope - the last thing she needs is to get legless.Sorry, I actually do have loads of admiration for someone who can overcome such a massive disability. Fair play to her!
