After a late start we have a brunch of bacon and eggs. Catch up with the news, such as the sad case of Molly Campbell, who will now remain with daddy in Pakistan. Her mother thinks she has been influenced by the family over there, and that she is a sad, confused child. Nonetheless, she is unlikely to visit Misbah (Molly's Islamic name) any time soon, because of death threats uttered against her. Mrs Campbell converted to Islam, and converted back to Christianity on the divorce from Sajed. Louise is now concentrating on her young baby daughter Rachel, 6 months old and her partner. Her relationship with that man broke down under the strain of Molly's abduction; Molly didn't like the man to start with. The containership Napoli now lies grounded off the South Devon coast and is shedding its cargo of containers and its fuel oil under a 30 degree list. Supper tonight is pork fillets with potatoes, ratatouille and home-made apple sauce. A blackberry and apple tart topped with custard leaves us well replete. Hail and snow showers clatter down through the evening - it's very cold outside.

I do shudder when I read about Molly Campbell. A woman who landed here had her two children taken off to India by her husband when she had medical problems and had to let him take them. He returned without them, saying he wanted them raised in India by his family! He finally got cancer and agreed to bring them home so she could help with them while he was fighting cancer. She faithfully e-mailed them all the time. A terrible thing happened to her. A surgeon took out her thyroid by mistake thinking she had cancer. She only had Hashimotos and he paralyzed something in her throat and she went into breathing arrest all the time, so has to have a permanent tracheotomy. I suppose she has sued to the nines I don't know. My grandson's father was Sudanese from a wealthy Khartoum family and I shudder when I hear these stories, but he finally gave up all rights to his son so my daughter's American husband could adopt him, but many did not have that happy of an ending.

ReplyDeleteAs a mother, I cant even imagine. It would be a deep pain that would take over me. I do not know if she can think for herself later. She is stuck in a country that condemns it. ~Raven
