One year today

Unbelievably, it's a year today since Abigail died. It will be a difficult weekend, of course, but for us it's just a date and we'll be spending some time together as a family today. We'll be using her birthday anniversary in September much more to celebrate her life, rather than commemorating her death. Of course there have been many memories brought back over recent days of what was happening a year ago when Abby was in hospital: the decisions made, the unfolding of events and how we were feeling then. But now as then, we remain so enriched, blessed and grateful for the experience of caring for Abigail Erin. Whilst tragedy and heartache was never far away, Abby will always be a highlight of all our lives.

Abby, you have your brighter day. We'll see you soon. xxxx
