I saved a kid's life the other night. It was exciting. It was like 9:45 at night. I jumped in with all my clothes on. The air was really cold. I didn't get a thank you, but I guess I shouldn't expect it. After all, it's my job right?
I guess I was just shocked by the lack of caring on all accounts. I mean if someone had just saved my child's life I would do something more than get them out of the pool. I might be concerned about what happened, if the kid was okay. I'd probably thank the lifeguard... at least.
Something that has always bothered me is when someone has a kid and doesn't have responsibility for them. Having a child isn't something to be taken lightly. It's not like getting a new car or something. It will affect the rest of your life an your entire family's life. It will affect the future. Too many people don't care about that though. I don't mean to say that this is why adoption exists, but it a big reason. It's sad that children suffer all over the world because people tell themselves that they can't handle something that they got themselves into before thinking about it. Of course there are other reasons that kids get sent to orphanages, but is one of them. It bugs me.
Anyway, my rambling won't help anything.
Don't forget what you've learned all you give is returned
And if life seems absurd what you need is some laughter
And a season to sleep and a place to get clean

SAWEET! Yay Hannah! Saving little kids. :D That sounds like a party.
It does sound like a party. You're right though, seems like there should have been a little more gratitude than you got. And it's really surprising how many parents don't seem to care about their kids. I don't get it; having a kid is even more than a big responsibility, it's a gift from God to a married couple (or that's what it's supposed to be), a living testimony for the love God gives people to share with each other. It's also a big test for a marriage in that the responsibility both parents take on is a big, big deal from all sides, and like you said, it changes a lot of things in a family. Seems like more people would care about something so big and important. Anyway, I guess I'm pretty good at rambling too. :D
Good blawgage..
