This is the beginning and it was awesome AND amazing.
A journal of the life and times parenting a different kind of baby, along with her two big sisters. From my unique point of view.

Goodbye Papa
He reached out to Sabrina on his hospice bed. She was sitting next to him and asked him how he was.
This was 2 weeks before he died.
He reached out with his right hand, his left side didn't work anymore, and he stroked her hair and said quietly - he had hardly a voice left:
"You're my special girl".
Sabrina looked at Papa and she held his arm and said "Papa, your my special boy". And we all laughed. Papa and Sabrina included. Me and mum too. Your Anne, our Nan, our mum - she's the strongest woman in the world. She is an inspiration.
You wer fine to us just before the Easter long weekend, and diagnosed with imminent death shortly after. The following 3 months were dark. But we held on for dear life. We held onto him with all our might.
July 26th, it all ended. With peace and love and family and ......... sadness .... and honour and respect and hope. Hope that he is in a better place. Knowledge. Knowing that he is gone and in a better place.
The grieving is on.
We all are touched by you Papa. Pops. Dad. Craig.
Your girls are good and loved and you loved them and they love you. When Layla looks up and sees her angels, you are now one of them. The head of the pack.
You actually make her giggle that much more loudly. I know she sees you bright and clear
Gone. But never forgotten.
Love never dies
