One Year Later

Yesterday was one year since we said good bye to our precious boy Charlie. 

If you are a new friend or you missed out on that part of our journey you can read about it here. 

You have all been so wonderfully supportive and many of you have asked how I am going. I am going well. It has been tough at times and I did have another miscarriage not long after Charlie's birth but the doctors and specialists could find no reasons why I was miscarrying. The last specialist we saw advised that I give my body a rest for about 6 months. So we did. 

Having 3 miscarriages in 12 months, two of them being in the 2nd trimester was hard. I lost a lot of blood with those two miscarriages and it is only now that I am feeling better that I realise just how tired my body was.

I am glad that we had a break but it wasn't easy to just wait. 

Our human nature urges us to get in and fix the problem not sit back and wait, combine that with the pressure of a ticking body clock and my desire to have a few more babies, not just one made the waiting very hard!

So we are trying to have a baby again and I am trying very hard not to become consumed by the process and the desire. 

The new business has been a great project for me to focus on and channel my energy into. It is a blessing to be able to be doing something I love and having the flexibility to be around for our son when he gets home from school and during the holidays is fantastic.

Thanks for being around when I've needed you and for stopping by and visiting me. Thanks to all of you who emailed me to check on how I was. 

I would appreciate your prayers as we try to have a baby, twins would be just fine :-) and would love to hear any advice you may have.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Imagine

Imagine

Having a best friend for 65 years

Imagine

You woke up next to your best friend for the last 62 years

Imagine

Together you watched your children grow up over the last 56 years

Imagine

Together you dreamt about your future

Imagine

Together you watched your grandchildren grow up over the last 29 years

Imagine

You sat together and remembered about the way things were

Imagine

Together you watched your great grandchildren grow

Imagine

Waking up and your best friend is no longer there

Good bye Pop.........

It was an honour to know you and have you come into my life.

I remember when Nick was jumping through hoops to convince me I should take a chance and let love into my life again he pointed out that he had living examples of how a marriage should look and how his Gram and Pop had been happily married for almost 60 years.

I am glad that he was able to talk me round because I got to know you and that was a blessing.
