It’s my Dad’s birthday today.  We miss you and love you, Dad — you were such a great Grandad to my little people.

You are sick my babies.  Colds and snuffles and no sleep.  Poor Kai, you cannot breathe through your nose at all.  I took you to the grocery store briefly as we needed supplies rather urgently, and not even the balloon offered by the cashier helped you cheer up.  Apparently even A.A. Milne can we wrong sometimes: “Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.”  Sick babies are the exception, I suppose.

The past few weeks have been incredibly difficult, my wee darlings.  I have been very grateful for my brother and sister.  It is my hope that you will always love one another the way you do now, and be a support to your sibling in good times and bad.  Even though you are so little, you love to laugh and play together — it brings me such joy.

We lost my Dad to cancer on December 28th.  My Dad adored my kids — he took care of Riv while I was giving birth to little Kai.  The feeling was mutual; my little ones loved spending time with their Grandad.  My heart is just broken that he won’t be here to see them grow up or teach them to play golf.  We miss you so much, Grandad.

Took a little break during the last weeks of my pregnancy, but I’m proud to announce the birth of our son in early October.  Now I have two little ones bringing me joy!
