We’re on holiday in Thailand and we visited the old king’s summer palace. Our guide told us a super sad story:

Apparently there was an accident long ago involving the queen and her baby daughter when the boat they were on, sank on the palace lake.

Even though there were lots of people around who were able to help, no-one could save them because nobody was allowed to touch the royals.

The queen and baby daughter drowned with everybody watching powerlessly.

Heartbreaking stuff man. Needed a moment to process that…

Rag on a stick

Prefer sitting down. Got me trusty rag on a stick.

Thank you, kind internet person. I wish you all the best. Hopefully we can do small things in our communities to spread some knowledge and help those around us to deal with these things. ❤️

I’m sorry you had to go through that. Totally agree with you about the whole thing. I was a happy oblivious dad to be, right up to the point where we lost the little bean. Nobody told me that a LOT of pregnancies turn out to be a dud. If I knew beforehand, I would’ve been better prepared. Alas, I was not prepared and it broke my heart. There’s a whole other side to pregnancies. When can we finally be realistic about it? That would be so helpful for all new moms and dads.

Guess dad was right?
