I'm glad you got to have your nameday whilst your Dad was still here (was he aware of that?). Wow, a ring with black diamonds! Thats very special. Yes it is a shame that as things started to settle a bit and improve, with him being home more... this has happened. Although its hard on you all and sometimes you are distant, can you just sort of.. love on each other?? With what me and H are going through, our lives have also stopped for weeks, no nights out, no people over, Christmas is currently cancelled etc, but we have just taken the time to kiss and hug and be grateful that we have each other, although we may have to lose someone else.

Thank goodness he is there to help you though hey and more importnantly, that he can be there for the kids too because I am sure this is a confusing and upsetting time for them.
