2008 has been a kind year to me. It's had it's ups and downs, but I'm not complaining. A holiday abroad and I've still got my job.

Our childminders husband was rushed to hospital a few weeks ago.
He spent 5 hours on the assessment ward before being seen.
When they finally attended to him, they rushed him into intensive care. His face went purple, his ear went black and he had two coronaries.
After which, his hands and feet went black and he died the next day. He left a wife and two small children aged 8 and 3. He was only 41 and fit as a fiddle.
A very sad end to the year which put everything into perspective and got me counting my blessings.
