I wonder how it's actually going with the girls at the Dickies?? I mean, what if they say "We don't think Daddy would do that." etc etc... and what if they think it's all lies... how do the Dickie's deal with that? Just wondering... it has to be a very hard situation.
I have no idea - it would be the hardest thing to deal with.
My nephew is staying tonight. His pet dog got a tick 9 days ago, only to be detected yesterday. Sam (the dog) spent last night at the Vet's and then he was transported to the Animal Hospital at Springwood this arvo. He's now in an induced coma - in the hope that he'll be stronger to fight once he's out in 24 hrs time. Anyway, I have a little 12 yr old here, who was beside himself and asking lots of questions - and especially every time my sister called with an update. My own son, daughter and I tried to take his mind off it all with soccer in the backyard, making pizzas for dinner, movies on my big bed on the tv, huge bowls of ice cream for dessert etc etc. He still cried and wanted more info when being tucked into bed tonight.
The Dickie's position will be 100 x worse than what I've struggled with tonight. My thoughts are with them (as much as the girls) in finding the right words to say - tomorrow and every day - to those little girls when they are in so much pain themselves.
I really hope that most of tomorrow will be ok for the girls - a celebration of how beautiful Allison was as a mum, a daughter, sister etc. I'm fairly sure that there will be the tears and the questions again, throughout and at the end of the day.
Thoughts are with them all.
12:03 am - Love to you Allison.
