rightness

Last year, Mr McMuffin and I were devastated by the news of his friend's baby dying. Mr McMuffin kept up sporadic email contact with the mother, but given that they were new friends and they had returned to Canada to live, the emails had tapered off. Funnily enough, he was talking yesterday about how he was keen to get in touch again and find out how things were for them and I also came across pictures of their baby when searching for something else in our inbox.

At work today, I bumped into a close friend of the couple, who shared the wonderful news that they were now the proud parents of a baby girl. I can't say how happy this makes me for them and (selfishly) for me, I hadn't realised how much I needed to know there was some joy ahead for this lovely couple.
