Feeling very low from yesterday. It is about an 8-year old. She is being treated for blood cancer for the past 40days. She is a distant relative of Hubby's(R) and we are searching very badly for a platelet donor. The process is much more painful than the normal blood donation process. Me,R and his cousin are trying to get some donors. We have 2 volunteers from Infy. Thanks to the BB that we have in Infosys.
Life is very unfair I say.. On one side we have 80+ aged people who have no one to take care of, counting their days and on the other end we have these little ones struggling for life... From the time I heard this news, for some reason whenever I see my daughter my eyes become moist.I have always sympathised with people who are suffering but for the first time, it is empathy.. What can I do to make my daughter's life better? I have reduced the usage of plastic for her (Not used much from day one) and have never given her any tin food hoping all these will safeguard her from the most dreaded C disease. I take each day as bonus. My hubby says I am overreacting but he looks shaken too.
Why is that mankind still cannot find a cure for this? Are we doomed to be like this? Atleast let it spare the kids......

Neha's vocabulary
My daughter surprised me more than once in the last 3 days...
On Sunday afternoon, Baby N(1 Year old) was playing with the a.c remote. I was just watching her with a water bottle in my hand. Suddenly I had this urge to ask her what it was... Prompt came the reply "bottle". I had the shock of my life. I never expected her to tell that. She can say "paatti" (meaning grandma) and "maadu" (meaning cow) too. My daughter who still cannot say "amma" can say bottle, maadu and paatti. How cool is that? (It is not that cool after all *sigh*).
Yesterday after I reached home from office, she wanted me to take her out for a short walk. Any guesses what she did?? She ran and fetched my dupatta so I can take her out and said "bye" pointing to the door... (*urgh* So my mom is not the only one who will behind me to make sure I get properly dressed)May be it is not such a great thing but it made me think we have parented a child prodigy for a second. Right after we came back I gave her her evening meal. All the usual tantrums, me losing out on her and finally giving up and she eating from my mom's plate... She is definitely a NORMAL Child...
