It is Father’s Day this weekend. Our second without my daughter’s daddy who passed away of cancer. This year she is feeling his loss, as everywhere we go, there is some kind of advertisement for Father’s Day – whether it be gift ideas, advertisements in newspapers, magazine and television. It is heartbreaking to watch her go through this sadness as she realises that she can’t see her Daddy on his special day.

However, my girl is a trooper. She is only 6 but handles this all with beauty and grace. She decided at school that she would make a Father’s Day present for her mum (me) and her teacher discussed this with me, telling me how fantastically she is handling things. Last night, though, after a long day at school, it hit her and she burst into tears. Crying and wanting her Daddy, all I could do was hold her tight and rock her and comfort her. My girl is brave, strong and resilient but we all have our moments and she is only 6 and doing the best that she can under circumstances beyond her control.

As her mum, I admire her strength, grace and her beautiful soul and couldn’t be more proud. I know that her Daddy would be ever so proud of her too.

Love you to the moon and back and then to Daddy’s star.

With all my love,

Your mummy xox
