She ended up with brain damage, epilepsy and a damaged leg, but shes alive and done well over the years.Didnt finish her course at uni because her memory is quite bad now but she is a very talented artist and may try again in a more artistic form. That day changed our lives forever,and although I am so lucky still to have my daughter with me,she isnt the same daughter I sent out to the bus shelter on 9th May 2003 and I do grieve for that Kate sometimes.But we go on and have to always be optimistic about the future and realise how lucky we really are. Heres to a lovely and tranquil 2010, best wishes Betty xcountry rose cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05426540354950003912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693773936230669160.post-85533337794011849412010-01-02T07:00:19.207+00:002010-01-02T07:00:19.207+00:00yes ,the first decade has certainly had it's u...yes ,the first decade has certainly had it's ups and downs. Personally for me, my worst year was 2005 when my two young nephews were knocked over while crossing a busy road with their paternal grandparents. My eldest nephew spent a week on life support at Addenbrookes, the younger 'only' had a fractured leg and was incredibly lucky that his grandmother had been carrying him. Their grandmother died a few weeks later, and their grandfather died this past October - he'd lost both legs in the accident. It was horrendous. Then, a couple of months later I found out I was pregnant with gorgeous girl and my family had something to look forward to. <br /><br />Our lives all changed that year. Not all for the better. I hope and pray that this new decade doesn't bring anything as tragically dramatic. <br /><br />Anyway. Wanted to wish you a very happy 2010, and to say thank you for stopping by my diary. :o)<br />Had a quick glance through previous posts, I love how cosy your home looked for Chrismtas. <br /><br />Sadie xsadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891036834520023762noreply@blogger.com
