I do miss the salary (sometimes), but it's more than made up for by being his main carer. <br /><br />It's going to be a great opportunity to spend quality time with Mia and you will all benefit from it so much. <br /><br />Good luck xxSwazihttp://www.chocolateisnottheonlyfruit.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-32468225294509580972012-11-11T22:30:59.917+00:002012-11-11T22:30:59.917+00:00Keep thinking positive and enjoy the time - it'...Keep thinking positive and enjoy the time - it's such a short time in the scheme of things xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989392020739427773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-44161185115058189722012-11-11T19:15:02.487+00:002012-11-11T19:15:02.487+00:00How exciting.
