Fast response

As I was writing the post below, Patrick called me from a toy shop in Joburg to consult me on buying Christmas presents for Antonio.

I told him how I felt blue and confused about being here and not there, etc, etc, etc.

He told me that I shouldn't feel that way as he had heard this morning that a woman was murdered in Parkhurst (my neighbourhood in Joburg) in a daytime robbery, while she was at home with her 4 month-old baby. The husband came home and found her dead next to her sleeping newborn son.

Such a sad reminder of why I decided to come back and have my baby in Rio. Surely did not expect to have such a fast answer to my doubts.
