My husband and I are blessed to have incredible family and friends, many of whom supported us through those gruelling weeks and beyond.
I have said thank you many times for many acts of kindness, some of which have stopped me in my tracks and made me realise how very precious our relationships are. I also wanted to thank many of these same people at my daughter's first birthday party, but my emotions got in the way and I ended up a blubbering mess. So to our precious family and friends, thank you. You know who you are. And to my husband, sometimes there are no words just a shared understanding and love; real, true love.
Thank you for listening through the tears
Thank you for our cleaner

Thank you for spending the night beside me in the delivery room as we prayed I would be able to keep this precious little baby safe

Lovely Katie - so proud of what you and Fred have achieved and survived. What does not kill us...yada yada. The sun always comes out after a storm and I know it is shining brightly for you these days. And so it should too! xoxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph. The sun does come out after a storm and it's definitely shining so very brightly for us. Our little ones have an amazing ability to teach us so much and more, especially about ourselves. Hope your little ones are well, growing far too fast no doubt and imparting their pearls of wisdom xoxo
