Drawing a line through her old life

No words can sum up our loss as much as this. My beautiful 8 year old daughter opened her school homework journal a few nights ago and stared at it for a while. I didn't take a lot of notice as I assumed she was checking her homework list. Later when I went to tidy away her school stuff I saw that she had drawn a line through one particular part of it that had been filled out last September long before her daddy's illness and death. "Father's name and phone number". There's got to be a word bigger than 'heartache' to describe how this makes me feel. :(

    I found you strangely enough on DIS. I've read most of your blog and I had to comment. I pray for peace for you and your young family. I hope you always find reminders of your love throughout your days that bring a smile to your face.

    Thank you so much Jennifer. It's great to get feedback. Yes, I still frequent The DIS from time to time. We had planned on going back to Orlando next year as a family. I still hope to get back there before Aisling is a teenager. xxx

    Oh my, that is heart breaking. I have no words, and you are so eloquent. I hope you don't mind if I continue to follow your journey. Hugs once again,

    I meant to add that I'm widowed also with a little daughter.

    Colette, thank you. Yes, it is beyond cruel that they have to miss out on having their precious fathers in their lives. Love to you and your daughter Colette xxx
