Today has been a bit of a strange day. I wont go into detail but a friend had a very sad incident. It was one of those things she couldn't of stopped. I hate it when sad things happen to lovely people.
The other thing was a conversation with Teri. She's working with the young carers forum to create a Young Carers day. She was telling me some of the ideas the young carers came up with. Some wanted to meet the local football team (gawd knows why!!!!) Some others said they wanted yoga and quiet time spaces to relax. It reminded me how different these kids are. Kids who care for others think about life differently. They don't think of having the best of everything or top of the range stuff. They think of the person they care for and how the rest of the family feel. So when it comes to having something extra like a day out they want something simple so they can relax.
Both instances show its the small things that matter. So if you know someone who has a disabled person in their family, stop and ask them if they're ok and if you can help. I'll bet you they'll say no but they'll be so happy someone cared enough to ask.
Bye xx
