you really do think the worst of everyone don't you? do you think that by making that statement i'm implying that i think i'm better than the diarist? that i could cope with what they couldn't? mate, i got close to the brink of despair trying to deal with my slightly whingey niece for a few hours when i had a hangover on sunday. i was only pointing out that as heartbreaking and humbling as the article was, it hadn't escaped my notice that despite how selfless and caring the diarist was, there were kids that they couldn't even consider taking care of... i just wonder (and have been since i read it last week) what happens to those ones.
