Tom's P.O.V
The road to Grace was not an easy one. I still have good days and bad days when I can barely withstand our barbaric separation. For a long time I felt very angry that she had been taken from me in addition to the concealed hurt with my parents,although we are now trying to work through the lies,including my birth mother who is undergoing rehabilitation with great success,I really am proud.
A year on and I now have Grace in my life. Sam and I eloped a month after our engagement,nothing big just us and a promise. By the time we had got back we had the pleasant surprise that Sam was pregnant. And here we are almost a year on celebrating our first wedding anniversary,we named our daughter Grace because her eyes are the exact same colour as her aunties but apart from that she looks nothing alike which makes it easier not to be reminded of my loss.I say that but like her aunt Grace is forever smiling because she is so happy but yet she doesn't understand why I am still so sad.
When she was first born I vowed I would teach my daughter everything I could about her aunt,not so she could be a replacement,no she could never be that she is already her own special person but so she could understand that if you love someone enough you must take care of them and look out for them or you will loose them.
I still think about my sister at night when I can't sleep,I think of the things she always wanted to do ,we used to discuss them around the kitchen table in my flat,she had a huge list, so I do them myself so that way she doesn't miss out so she can still live on, so I can make her proud. I love my sister and I still sometimes think about that day is recuss whispering old memories into her ear or watching her fit in front of my patients in my place of work and sadly I don't think I'll be able to get over seeing her like thst. But now I'm trying to do what Grace would want me to do; to look after my new wife and our beautiful daughter,Grace.
The end.
