Silent Night (Mummy style)

In the interest of the up and coming season…

Silent night, yeah right!
Mummy’s not calm,
Daddy has spite.
Round the clock the female child,

if you slept through the night.

Fools and liars.

Ivy slept through the night.

David has been fixing it as best he can. (He can feel my panic in not being able to clean for the twins’ party).
Every morning Noah has come in and pointed to the poor plastic heap […]

Reflections…

Even as their birthday approaches, my head is filled with William. The wonders and the what ifs and the guilt for wanting him here and things to be different. I look at them and my whole self swells with love and pride that they are mine. Would they even be here if William had lived? I’m not […]
