Nobody Does It Better

Makes me feel sad for the rest.... I'm thankful for: Sleep. Even when it refuses to last long enough. People who are willing to be a part of the medical community. Doctors who are willing to still practice obstetrics. People who realize that you can't opt out of grief with a lawsuit. EMTALA. That means that even if you are a single mom who left her kids in Mexico, and your water breaks at 30 weeks, and you can barely write your own name, let alone read in your native language, you can still get appropriate medical care if you show up at the hospital. The little spanish I DO know. The ability to read spanish, even when I don't understand exactly what I'm saying. Bleeding hearts. The freedom to be really grumpy sometimes on my blog and not explain every little bit of my motivations. My ability to find a song to fit almost any emotion, and to know most of the words to it off the top of my head. The realization that I haven't got time for the pain.
