Lump in the throat?
Our daughter and our little granddaughter (who just turned four and is ridiculously smart for her age, probably going to start school a whole year early) came up for a visit a couple of weeks ago while her husband was in Dubai attending his brothers entrance ceremony to Etihad Airways as a flight attendant.
Anyway, we hadn't seen them for maybe six months, only talking on the phone and the occasional Facetime thing. I was working my usual weird shift pattern, and was seeing very little of our granddaughter.
One rare morning I was actually home at night at a normal time, I woke up the next morning to my granddaughter jumping up and down on the bed and obviously very happy to finally be able to see me. She started asking what we were going to do that day, could we go to the beach, go to the zoo?
I had to go to work at 10am that morning.
So I got out of bed.
And I rang rosters at work and informed them I unfortunately had come down with a sudden nasty illness and wouldn't be in to work that day...maybe the next as well.
Got to know your priorities. I spent too many years when our own kids were little missing out on their lives because of work.

B.B.C. - Funeral for unidentified baby boy
Edinburgh Evening News- Hundreds attend funeral of unknown Edinburgh baby
More than 200 people have turned out for the funeral of an unidentified baby boy found dead on a path two years ago.
The remains of the infant, thought to be up to six weeks old, were found wrapped in a blanket on an old railway path in the Seafield area of Edinburgh in July 2013.
His mother or family have never been traced, and his identity remains a mystery.

B.B.C. - Saving North Yorkshire's Tansy beetle from extinction
A breeding programme is being set up for a rare beetle which has been threatened with extinction.
The iridescent Tansy beetle only exists along a 28-mile stretch of the River Ouse in North Yorkshire.
It only eats a specific kind of plant and has an unfortunate habit of eating its own eggs.
