Father’s Day

Father’s Day is an odd one when you have one child not with you, and have little children.

We make the most of it for Baba, but it is still a sad day as there should be two cards, two sets of presents and two children running in being excited for Daddies day. There will never be the right amount of children.

We think about Rhianna every day but I think Mother’s and Father’s day we think about her differently.

It is day that she is there in every moment.

But is always hard to know what to do for the best.

Do you include her in cards and presents, or do you not. It is something we are not really clear on at the moment and something we will never be clear on. I think we do need to work on it and decide what to do.

But this year she was included on a present to my dad, we gave him a joint present this year a big frame with all the grandchildren’s pictures in and the frame that my sister found was a frame with four spaces. It was a simple decision to put a picture of Rhianna in it as well as all the other grandchildren.

One person has asked for Rhianna’s pictures before and I have spoken a lot about pictures and Rhianna and this was a milestone in her story, because even though we have been asked for her picture I haven’t yet printed them off. So this frame is her only picture in someone else’s house. And it means a lot.

It is a symbolic thing really.

It is a realisation that she is acknowledged and showed off in another house.

That she isn’t forgotten about.

And that she is thought about and remembered.

It meant and means a lot. That everyone was happy with it.

That 15 months on she is now in another house up and on show, with her brother and cousins, and a part of the family!
