Long, long ago when Tama and Shannon lost their baby Te Ngakau on Shortland Street we delivered a BIG bag of lollies to the Shortland street writers for what we believed was the excellent handling of the baby loss storyline. They even revisited the story on the one year anniversay of baby Ngakau's death- way cool!
So after Outrageous Fortune last night we will again be buying some lollies for the OF writers. Despite the fact we knowm it's just a story and they are just characters Les and I poured tears this week and last week watching the show. It was an excellent portayal of a truly awful situation which in television is quite often glossed over or not ackowledged at all.
Yay Outrageous Fortune- you never fail to deliver an excellent programme. Hurray for Robyn and Kirk (and 'family') for their fantastic acting prowess.
Thank-you for helping 1000's of people who will never get what we as the parents of dead babies are going through to understand a little more how big, how hard and how intense it is to live this reality for the rest of our lives.
Thank-you.
