But they also make us the bravest and strongest, you'll get through it eventually and enjoy many more smiles from your beautiful daughter yet! Even when you feel moments of utter despair, you have an amazing bond, your love and dedication is so strong and it will keep you all going and getting better. I think I will give your lovely Light-of-Hope candle holder a new purpose and light a candle there this Christmas for you and your family with a simple wish - no more obstacles, keep getting better! I wish you peaceful Christmas with many smiles and all the best in 2014.
