I hope they can use you Kat...there is nothing that can make the heart smile bigger than holding a child, such a feeling of hope with a baby in your arms. I can't remember exactly how it goes but it went something like this.....Nothing exercises the heart more than picking up a child. If someone knows the correct wording, I would appreciate knowing.

Holidays are the hardest. The first Fathers Day after my Dad died was terrible for me. My hubby asked me to go visit his parents that day and I told him I wasn't ready. His Mom called to invite me and said, "Well, Paul can be your Dad now!" I hung up on her and then called back to blast her with my feelings.
When I get really down, I remember my Dad's laugh, the way he loved to tell jokes and have fun. I still celebrate Fathers Day for him, he's just not here physically. I see my Dad's spirit in my son and embrace that! Hold the memories of your Mother close and be happy that you had her! Do the best you can and let's all help each other get through the ups and downs.

Mr. Potato Head and I are still waiting to hear when you are coming out to Rhode Island. Look, his arm is already extended to give you a big hug.

Kat, it's hard when holidays we'd normally celebrate with/for them come along. I feel it with the loss of my Dad too. He was such a sweet, loving man and has been missed terribly.
Now I try to focus on the loved ones I do have left and make sure I don't miss out on anything more than I have to with them because I know too well how quickly things can change and people can be gone.

Kat, I am so sorry I wasn't here when you were feeling so down. I'm glad you vented. I hope it made you feel better to put those thoughts and feelings into words. You are an amazing and strong woman...who is a huge inspiration to me. You have been through so much, yet you are still incredibly kind and compassionate and always trying to make others smile. I wish I was there so I could give you a big hug! Remember, we are here for you always, no matter what you are feeling! *HUGS*
