When I was pregnant with my first child, my partner and the father of this child left me to get to the hospital alone whilst he went to a party. I had to wait all night and the next day to find out if the baby was ectopic. Thank God, she was not. <br /><br />Her father never really came back from that party, and when I was 5 months pregnant I saw him for the last time. He has never met his daughter or seen all the milestones. Like you I am my daughters constant. We are bonded in a deep way, our blood is beating to the same beat. <br /><br />We gained a gentle, kind man who did want to be her father and then two brothers. My hate has simmered and cooled to a thankfulness. Despite him leaving I am so grateful we had our time and made HER and she also has his eyes. I too wish him well. <br />Thank you for your beautiful writing.mermaidsdrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018055828491246976noreply@blogger.com
