perspective

i am very bitchy tonight- but with reason- i had to listen to n and d both complain tonight that n had to pay $300 for a washer part. which under normal circumstances would be i guess a big deal for a twenty-something year old. but somehow either i have lost perspective or they have....

what i wouldn't pay to have my biggest problem be fixed with $300....

but this really isn't about me....

it's about the parents that i had to watch today say goodbye to their 3 year old- who died very suddenly in our clinic....

suddenly life has some perspective...

i just want to tell n and d to:
thank god it's fixable with just a little bit of money...
stop bitching about something so minor....
wake up and realize that they are lucky enough to have the money- that this family doesn't know how they will bury their child because they can't afford it

sometimes it all just makes me want to scream....
