This week has been complete tits. It started on Monday when we got a call saying Sophie’s Dad had a heart attack. It’s amazing how your world can just stop in a blink of an eye, how all the trivial little bits of your day-to-day suddenly becomes inconsequential, replaced by a much larger and more real issue, that issue being the life of a loved one that hangs in the balance. Sophie is 3 hours away, seeing to things that need seeing to.  And me?  Well I’m helping to hold the fort on the home front, to care for Oliver and to fill the void left by her absence. Being a Dad has taught me many things. Thought I’d share this nugget. Looking at Oliver sleep in my bed this morning I asked myself this, “How does someone so small, take up the whole bed?” I swear, it’s the little things that make you smile.
