Today I don't know what to do with myself. Am finding it hard (who here isn't?). I don't think I can talk to anybody, but I know I should. I should let go, let it out, I know. I don't even want to share what I'm putting here with people I know (have just insulted my wife by not showing her).
Have found something I can do though - I can hide behind my 1 year old!. Even though she's not trying to comfort me, she's very comforting just to hide behind. When dad came over with the news, I sat her on my knee and literally hid behind her as she played on my knee.
