Suckier and suckier

Today saw two unpleasant pieces of news....

Firstly, that my cousin and her husband are getting divorced. How sucky is that? She has two small kids - one turning 4 and the other just a few months. So now she will have to get a proper job (she's been working part-time from home) and put her eldest into after care every day of the week and find a day care place for the youngest. The news came to her as a big shock, because she didn't think things were that bad yet.

The other sucky piece of news is that my colleague, who's got leukemia, was rushed back into hospital this morning after being home for less than 24 hrs. She'd finished her current round of chaemo last week, but wasn't allowed home because she suddenly had to have 3 blood transfusions. She also has two young kids (8 and 12), neither of whom really understand what's going on.

What a sucky end to an otherwise lovely day. If you are the praying type, please pray for both of them, and their kids, and their families.
