On the Monday, I made the decision, which I know regret to go to work, I was emotionally drained and needed a distraction, being a teacher is a big distraction. I missed her by 2hrs, my now husband lied and said she was still here, I went straight to the hospital and mum greeted me outside, I knew straight away! I cried and cried, I got to see her, she had that waxy look but she had a smile on her face. I know I said my goodbyes and I promised her if we have a daughter she will have her middle name, which is mIne also. But it still gets me that I wasn't there and it's been 4 years. So although it was hard, have faith in the choice you made. My love and thoughts are with you in this hard time, but he will live on in your memories and heart.

I know what you mean by the family issues because my mum, the eldest child has gone through similar being the primary carer for my nan five years ago and then being primary carer for my aunt, her younger sister, who died only two months ago. I'm sure your dad really appreciates your support. I know my mum did mine.
