Could Have Been Worse

Posted on the 04 April 2013 by Morander @notreadbooks

Today was my birthday.

There was no trip to the pub after work. No wine bar with wife. No over the top meal in a TV chef’s restaurant. There was no fancy meal at home, no streamers, no fanfare, no expensive electronic gifts.

There was no sleep.

There was a sick little girl, a very tired wife and a sleepless infant.

Then all my ladies fell asleep, one of them on my lap breathing softly.

There was a beautiful quiet infant

A little girl resting

And a brave wife recharging

Could have been worse.

NB: To those that have asked thank you. Life is as good as it can be after you have double the amount of kids you had a month ago. Regular posts will return soon.
