hello all. Smashed my phone totally, (as opposed to half-smashed, which is normal for me) to the point it won't let me do anything, so I have now discovered just how much I rely on it for - well - everything.
Gearing up for Mia's Ball on Saturday, all systems are go, and I think it is going to be amazing. People have been astoundingly generous, not only with donations, but also giving up so much time and skills to help us make it a success. I shall be wearing my wedding dress, which I wore when I was 4 months' pregnant with Mia.
Some things are turning full circle here, but in a good way. Shabba - do you remember when I had to tell the Tesco delivery man that my daughter had died? It was the first time I had said it to a stranger, I remember you telling me that it was the hardest that first time. Well, he delivered again today, and we talked about Mia, as well as Finn, and he said how happy he was for me. He had told me how he had lost a child, so his words meant a lot.
And Finn is on the move in a big way, touching anything and everything he can reach. There is a little napkin ring that Mia was given, and which she had put on a kitchen shelf, and I haven't wanted to move it, so has been sitting there ever since. Today Finn managed to reach it, and proudly clutched it as he crawled around the kitchen. Again, it seemed right that it was being played with once more.
shabba reborn babies… yes, even without your own experiences, I find them very unsettling. Seeing the CPR rubber baby was a similar moment for me.
everlong that was indeed a very upsetting photo, let alone seeing it in real life. So glad he has had the surgery now, hope the recovery is speedy and smooth.
