Tonight is my first time writing a blog....
After reading the blog of a friend of mine for quite some time now, i decided it was time to create my own.
This week has been quite an emotional one for me. I found out that my grandfather was admitted to hospital after falling ill at home (hopefully not naked this time). Mind you he just turned 83.. Thank god there is nothing seriously wrong with him, just a little dehydration. He is now home and his sense of humour in tact after telling me they didn't scan his brain because it would have been a waste as there isn't one there.
Then a team of comedian called "The Chasers" and their show "The Chasers War on Everything" did a skit about terminally ill children and the amazing Make A Wish Foundation and made the comment "why spend lots of money on these kids when they are only going to die anyway".... needless to say my blood was and still is boiling. They call it Black Comedy, i call it sick and disgusting behavior from a bunch of grown men who should know better. Try hold a dying child in your arms and then laugh at a skit like that????
The following day a renowned Surgical Oncologist lost his own battle with cancerous brain tumor. Dr Chris O'brien spent his life trying to save the lives of others suffering from cancer only to lose his own. He was able to start a project which will see the largest cancer centre in Australia built. I have lost a number of immediate family members to cancer so this really is a sad day for our Country.
I guess i look around my house tonight and realise how lucky i am. i have a wonderful husband and amazing 7yr old daughter who make me smile when i have these bad weeks. Chloe is sleeping and brad spending time with an old mate. I am going to watch a movie in bed (something i havn't done in quite a while) and enjoy me time.
It is the Queens Birthday Holiday this weekend, so still 2 more days of family and friends to go.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and i hope my first time was good for you too!! LOL
Till next time
I hate comedy skits that are truly in bad taste.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me sick to see them make light of something such as a child's pain.
I turn those types of things off, but then again I don't watch much t.v. Maybe that's a good thing.
Can't wait to read more !
