"Call the Midwife" is a drama produced by the BBC, illustrating the view of Nurse Jenny Lee who serves the small town of Poplar in London, England in the 1950s. Jennifer Worth wrote "Tales of a Midwife" where she tells of her time in Poplar, birthing babies and looking after the community. Worth comes from a rather comfortable upbringing and is shown the desperate state of poverty the town suffers. Jenny and her fellows face the challenge of difficult births and moreover devastating events such as infant loss.
This most certainly struck a cord with me today as I watched last night's episode, where baby Thomas is found dead in his cot, as a result one of his lungs not expanding properly.
A gathering was held at the house, in a tiny white coffin lay Thomas, so still. His mummy puts a blanket over him, his daddy- a white rose. Alike the one that was placed on my little man's casket, a symbol of innocence, white and delicate. And that's what you are.
I miss you oh so much, little one. I love you always, always, always. No matter how hard I cry, no matter how many tears may fall, or years pass... You're not coming back, but you will never leave my heart. You are my sunshine, I'll see you again one day.
Does anyone know of a GOOD waterproof mascara???
