To tell you all DD2 is 2 today and I got her there all by myself after being widowed when pregnant.

[grobagsforever]

DH died when I was 36 weeks pregnant. DD2 is two today! (DD1 nearly 6). Since she was born I've got back to work nearly full time, learned to drive and done the London marathon in aid of CRUK. My daughters are happy and healthy and have the most amazing bond. I've made a ton of mistakes but right now I just want to be proud.

I followed your story and still think of you, a HUGE congratulations on your achievement and Happy Birthday to your 2 year old!

runs up...jumps...gives big cheesy high 5, whilst opening bottle of prosecco and passing you a straw.

Op amazing grief, what a strange state to be in and have to go through. Incredible you have come though it all and with two lovely DD's.

I remember your thread well, the pain and confusion was so vivid. How wonderful to hear that you and your lovely girls are thriving :) Happy birthday minibags and happy superwoman day to you grobags, may life bring you all nothing but joy.

Well done 👏🏼 That is some amount of achievements in such a short length of time,let alone if you were bereaved-I hope ye all have a great day 😊

I actually feel a bit tearful reading your story, I think you are absolutely amazing and I hope every one you know tells you that you are. Your children are lucky to have such a brave, strong mother. You are a wonderful role model for them.

I remember your threads. So pleased to hear you're doing well. I am local to you and think about you often and wonder how you're doing. Wishing your lovely little girl a very happy 2nd birthday

wipes eye, sniffs...

Wow - you are amazing. I hope you get some space today to just sit back and take it all in. Your DC must be so proud of you - and as they grow up they will be even more so. Have a wonderful day!
