Stretchie....you are amazing!

That is all x

I think it's selfish, if I had the above commitments I'd have to rethink - whether or not it'd stop me I don't know.

+1,

It is, but then so is having a child in the first place, selfish isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Oh god that is such a sad article. I am sat at my desk almost in tears. What scares me is not saying goodbye or i love you when you see them last.

My other half has a dangerous job, and whenever he goes to work i always tell him to be carefull and that i love him. I would never try and stop him as it is his choice to do his job and he loves it. I dont have any right to stop that, just as he would never ask me to stop riding. One day, i think i will give up road riding. When we have kids i think.

I know what it feels like to leave things on a bad note. My dad died last year, and the last thing i said to him was that i thought he was a idiot. He was a total plank, just wish i had a chance to add "...but i love you" on the end.

Hmm. Not sure what you're getting at there.
I have 4 kids and they're not all mine. I can't say I've ever felt selfish with regards to any of them; whether I liked it or not

I dont see it a selfish, my hobbies include, diving, flying various water sports. Everything has a risk, what makes a difference is the caution/common sense used while having fun. Sad story though

Horrible story, that. My wife received a call from the police when I came off. They said 'your husband's been in a motorcycle accident, please come to the Princess Royal immediately' - and that was it - so I can understand why Anne was so upset, she didn't know that I wasn't at death's door.

Selfish - well maybe.

What a sad story
