trial of a week

Particularly when your 12 year old is attacked coming home from school by a stranger and a (we hope fake!) gun pulled on him. Totally traumatised and we have spent hours spent at the police station (We have kept it out of the news) He is strong and totally insisted on my not meeting him to take him home today... until he walked in the door, I was very, very nervous!


An awesome school librarian I know died suddenly and the above child has also just told me one of his teachers due to give birth in a few weeks with her first child, lost the baby last night. He is very sad about that too.


I'm hoping the next week has a lot better events in it!

  1. Oh no... I think you need to put your feet up and have a rest. It is hard dealing with lots of stress. Hope your son will handle it ok...

  3. What a terrible week, especially for your son, how awful. I hope they catch whoever's responsible, your son sounds very brave dealing with it the way he is but it must be extremely worrying for you, to say the least. I hope next week will be a much better one.
