Talking about you

Darling Little One, Last night I went out with my best friend who, were you and I together, would be like an aunt to you. We had a lovely evening and talked about you, me and her planning to have another child. This was delightful if tinged with sadness for both of us as we both want you to be part of our lives. The best bit though was on my way home. I was reading a book on parenting that she gave me and an old couple asked me when you were due. For five glorious moments I was able to talk about you and the joy I feel about your impending birth. It was one of those things I feel I had missed out on, being able to talk like a proud father to be. It was a bit of fantasy on my part obviously, but I told no falsehoods and allowed myself this piece of happiness. I cannot begin to tell you how fantastic it felt being able to talk about you without having to explain the situation or talk about my unhappiness of not having you in my life. Maybe it was wrong, but it was one of the best experiences of my life. I would not have given it up for anything. It also made me think about all the good things you represent and the happiness you bring to so many people. Love you Little One xxx
