And sometimes I miss those details....
Finally after putting it off for weeks, I went through all our paperwork for the business and our life. I came across the letter from the hospital telling me I wasn't eligible for free health care for the baby/delivery. I looked at the brochure that came with the letter, which I hadn't previously done before. Evidently on the back it has a list of criteria of who might be eligible.
YEP we are safe and the baby will be born into this world without us paying for it! I had to laugh at myself as I saw at the bottom of the list: "If you are married to a NZ citizen or resident." Sam always thought it was strange that I wouldn't be eligible and he was ready for a good old fashion Kiwi fight if that were really the case because the baby is half Kiwi and he can't have it so that leaves me to have the baby so therefore we should be eligible. :)
I see the world in the big picture of life, I dream, I plan, I look forward to the idealistic outcome. I do not always see the pieces that go together to make up that big picture and this situation was a classic Dana move. Sometimes I guess life, even little ones that are only the size of a mango this week, are in the details. Glad I finally read the details.
Just like I tell my mom...they put that small print in there for a reason..Sometimes it is bad but sometimes it had one line that will change everything..Be optimistic at all times..we should have that tattoo'd on our foreheads..love ya
