Thoughts of Lily

It was announced yesterday that Lily Allen has unfortunately suffered a miscarriage.  What's worse is that this is the second one she has experienced.  

Mrs. S and myself are in the position of understanding what Lily will be going through at the moment.  When we were trying for our little Miss S, my good lady miscarried at five weeks gone.  We had all the excitement of actually getting pregnant, especially as we really wanted to start a family, and then it was snatched away from us.  All we felt was despair, the not believing that you are meant to be parents.  Also, no one could say or do anything to make you both feel better.  We were lucky that we had the support of both of our families.  It was really needed, especially as our marriage and relationship was really tested and completely changed over the coming months.  Sometimes I really wonder how we managed to get through it and get to where we are now.  Lily and Sam will no doubt feel some or all of these and will be seriously questioning whether it is worth trying again.  

We do hope that they ride the storm and come through this terrible time.  They need to believe that it will happen for them and one day they will be parents.  We are now blessed with a gorgeous little girl who Mrs. S fell pregnant with about eight months after we lost the first pregnancy. Hopefully Lily and Sam will experience the same somewhere in the not too distant future.

All the best Lily, we're all thinking of you.
