Reality check

Giving Sophie a cuddle earlier, I was thinking about how Jessica is having to adjust to not getting my full attention and having to share Mummy and I said to Sophie "you'll never know what it is like not to have Mummy's full attention as you'll always have to share Mummy."  "You hope," Michael said quietly, pulling me up short. "We hope," I repeated, saying a silent prayer that Sophie will always have to share Mummy with Jessica. This is the reality of being a heart parent - those little moments when you are reminded that the future is always uncertain.
