mouseykit, the pain that you have will pass and you will find that your strength will come back to allow you to put that foot in front of the other, and here is a {{{{BIG SAMSON HUG}}}} to help you get through it.

Oh mouseykit ... I lost my husband at the beginning of the year and he was the father of my 19 year old daughter, who absolutely adored him.  Here's one of my HUGE hugs for you and "bump".

It has been a tough time for us both but ... we are laughing again and the laughter makes us stronger.  You will not feel as if you will laugh ever again but you will, honestly.

Positive thinking has also helped me through, along with recognising the signals that my Ken is still with me - the sunshine, feathers arriving for no reason, the breeze across my cheek when I am lying in bed, a record on the radio ... things too numerous to mention in full.

You need now to switch your attention to the life growing inside you - your dad will be protecting this person too.

Brightest Blessings

Sarah
