How sad is it that for the last 2 years, I have struggled to sing the Barney song properly to my baby at bedtime?! Yes, you know the one, ‘I love you, you love me.’ This is the easy bit of the tune. The part that I have been struggling with is, ‘We’re a happy family.’ Our family has rather fallen apart over the last little while. My children’s Daddy doesn’t live with us anymore and even though they see him sometimes, our family will never be the same as it once was.
We are all coming to terms with this in our own way; not without I may add, some kicking, screaming and tears though. Life isn’t easy and sometimes we are called on to make some really tough decisions. Just lately, I am beginning to see the wood for the trees. As we all know, families come in all shapes and sizes and I have realized that we are now a family of 5 instead of 6...but a family all the same. We have our ‘moments’ but I can honestly say that we are a happy family and so it is with renewed gusto that I can sing all of the words of our favourite purple dinosaurs' annoyingly, cloying lullaby when I put my little girl to bed at night.
