"A GOOD THING"

I know a 'good thing' when I see it!!
I know that I have been, and continue to be, VERY lucky that my children have always been so communicative and caring.
Sian shows a maturity way beyond her years at times. She is able to very quickly sift through the bullshit that accompanies some people and, thus avoids having fools in her life...wherever possible!
She treats people with the respect they deserve and has truly become a very well-rounded and confident young adult. In the past few months she has been through some very tough times but has remained supportive of those who need her, has coped with emotional adversity and continues to view life with a positivity that many, in the same situation, would find impossible!
Jake obviously couldn't cope with adversity but he too was a son that anyone would have been proud to 'own'. He was caring and communicative and truly loved those who were lucky enough to be 'chosen' as a part of his life. Many of his friends have spoken of a mate who always listened in their times of need, who would put an arm around them if they needed a hug and who brought a laugh and a smile to those who frowned. He was the same with his family!
I know that others are not so fortunate in their relationship with their children...I know I have a 'good thing'!
