Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you for holding me up and being my rock. Thank for for listening to me rant and be irrational and emotional and let's face it, a little crazy. Thank you for holding me while I cry and making me laugh. Thank you for being my partner and my friend on this incredibly sad and bittersweet journey we call parenting. Thank you for being a Daddy to our children.
I wish I had a photo to insert here of my hubby holding our little boy Blaine but sadly I have none. Do you? What is your favourite memory or photo of your baby Daddy and baby?

A Poem For Fathers
Happy Father's Day. Here is a poem I found for Father's who have lost a child. Often they are forgotten as they care for the mother and other children or hide their grief. But it's days like this that remind us, they lost a child too.
~~ A poem for Fathers ~~
It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief,
Since "men don't cry"
and "men are strong"
No tears can bring relief.
It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test,
And field the calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.
They always ask if she's all right
And what she's going through.
But seldom take his hand and ask,
"My friend, but how are you?"
He hears her crying in the night
And thinks his heart will break.
He dries her tears and comforts her,
But "stays strong" for her sake.
It must be very difficult
To start each day anew.
And try to be so very brave-
He lost his baby too.

Father's Grieving Infant Loss Blog
from Tim Nelson, author of a Guide For Fathers - When a Baby Dies
Tim Nelson
My wife, Monica, and I suffered the full-term stillbirth of our second child, Kathleen. While that was a number of years ago, I have stayed connected to the issue through my writing and speaking on the topic of father's grief following the death of an infant. I, like many men, had trouble talking about my feelings after my daughter's death. I'm hoping this blog might be a place for dads to share their thoughts about what they are experiencing and find support from other dads.
