My late husband back.

A decent father for me and also for my child, being slim, a quiet voice, being comfortably off, having any kind of talent…..the list could go on and on 😂😂

Children.

A fully functioning right arm
A sense of time
A sense of distance
And agree with thick hair and a good singing voice. DP is musical and wishes we could sing together. I'm not tone deaf, I know I am singing out of tune, but I can't make my throat do the right thing.

Flat tummy, effortlessly good mental health (it will always be something I have to monitor and work at), a cuddly empathetic mum.

Being able to take a career break to be a SAHM with my kids while they’re are little. I’m not entirely at peace with it, but trying my best.

Good health.

When I was younger and having fertility treatment /complicated pregnancy's I would have given anything for a text book pregnancy and felt I'd never come to terms with it but over time it's no longer as important.
I now struggle with not losing my health and independene. Ongoing health issues, being unable to work and loosing my career /part of my identity. My children having to help me. Not being able to give my children the experiences they should get. I'm not sure I'll ever come to terms with how my life's turned out.

My beloved brother alive and healthy.

So sorry for others who have lost loved ones and/or had difficult family relationships.

I have so much to be grateful for but miss my brother endlessly
