“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, put me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.” -A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
The saying goes “out of sight, out of mind”. Well bollocks to that. I’ve printed off large photos of Alby and Daddy, laminated them (to keep them safe from Alby dribble) and stuck them at Alby level around the house.

| Daddy snog! |
Three have been placed above his cot so that Daddy can look down on him at night. Though this afternoon they proved a useful distraction when I was dong errands; Alby happily snogged and poked Daddy whilst I hung up his clothes and put away the toy bricks he had tipped across the floor.

As I learnt this evening, when I’ve exhausted myself and have a crying Trouble Monkey in my arms, having Mark looking at me makes for an emotional bedtime. Each time I see him I hear his words in my head. I hear him chastising me and encouraging me and standing at my side. It makes for a sentimental fool but if that’s the worst that can be said of me then I’ll take it gladly.
