It's helped having such considerate and caring comments from my blogging friends. It's almost worse now that the festivities has subsided - we were brave and enjoyed Christmas - but now we're back to normal and his absence is palpable. It will never be quite the same.

I was having trouble posting in between our holiday and recovery activities. I was enjoying your Christmas posting, then immediately came upon this post. How saddened I feel at your loss of Darwin.
