My Nanna gave birth to her last child at 45 a baby girl that was named Pauline but she only lived for 15 minutes. The same message was repeated to her, forget about it and move on. I came along a year later and I think my appearance brought her some much needed comfort, I loved my Nanna a great deal. I'm so glad that your mum's faith sustained her right until the end, what joy she must have felt knowing she would be reunited with her baby boy xx Sandra Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260644073051470011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-76576497491358947422021-12-19T23:34:39.182+00:002021-12-19T23:34:39.182+00:00Thank you Ann.

The account of the slaughter of the innocents from Matthew is a grim reminder of so much human suffering, pain and grief both throughout history and in the modern World.

Christmas always s...A beautiful reflection, Angela.<br />Christmas always seems to me to be a time that goes down to the very crux of life. It's a time of celebration, spiritually and certainly secularly, yet always for so many it is painful and difficult. What a travesty it would have been for those suffering, if Jesus had been born in a magnificent palace with announcements and pomp and circumstance. Instead, He was born in an unsanitary stable with humble parents, and no matter what our situation, He comes willingly at Christmas to share our life just as it is. May He comfort those who are expected to get on with life after heartbreaking loss.Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-77529903982194943992021-12-19T16:37:36.659+00:002021-12-19T16:37:36.659+00:00This was so beautiful , I have tears in my eyes ev...This was so beautiful , I have tears in my eyes even though I was fortunate to never experience this loss.
