When my son came along the Fear was doubled. Sometimes I have nightmares that I'm still in the service and I'm getting called away. That's how strong the Fear was. So I can relate and feel for ya. I still have the Fear but now it's about different things, like my son's poor driving skills. It sounds like you have the right idea about how to handle your fear. It's only natural it should pop into your head once in a while. One way to look at it is as a reminder to appreciate everything you have right now.smitten by britainhttp://www.smittenbybritain.comnoreply@blogger.com
