A Gift



It's officially spring now! Welcome to the season I say.

This touching story of friendship almost had me in tears last week.
It tells of 2 lifelong friends, and of how one volunteered to be a surrogate mother for the other. What a gift.

I'm lucky about housework in that my husband M likes to vacuum.  Maybe I have to thank his mother for that:

That is such a beautiful story about friendship.
And I chuckled at that cartoon. How true.

If they could medically make men able to carry children, I don't think they'd get many volunteers. That's a great thing to do for a friend. I certainly wouldn't be brave enough to do it.

A surrogate mother! What a lovely story.

The best thing about Art is that he cleans the bathroom! I am very GRATEFUL for that. I'm always amazed when I hear of someone carrying a child for another person. It's not easy and giving birth is not something I would look forward to doing again.

Alex is lucky too in that I have to have the place clean and tidy up all the time, and do dishes, etc, even make breakfast and dinner sometimes but not as often as she. Just made chix spag the other day. It was pretty good, must say. :)
