I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Count me in on the prayers.
I love reading about your feelings for your kids. It heals my heart to know that there are fathers like you in the world. *tears*
Please keep sharing those tender thoughts.
Last night, amidst an attempt to converse with H, S9 came in & was scared. He had remembered an image he'd seen earlier in the day on TV. (stupid commercials for scary movies) Anyway, he asked me to lay next to him while he fell asleep. I whispered in his ear over & over, that he was safe, that I was right there, & wouldn't let anybody or anything hurt him. I kissed his eye lids, & stroked his hair.
I suppose that's what I wish H would have done for me.
I hope you have a great day. hugs
