I have two lads aged 16 and ten and both of them are Sunderland season ticket holders and fanatics. My little girl is the youngest at 9, and she is a proper little daddies girl. I think with my girl our lass just told me the news when I got in from work. However my abiding memory of that pregnancy was when our lass had a miscarriage while we were away on holiday which obviously devestated us. However, when we got back home to Sunderland we had to report to the hospital for our lass to get examined. There they confirmed that our lass had lost a baby, but also stated that she was still pregnant. We both just stood there speechless until they said that she had been expecting twins but had lost one of the babies.
I couldn't even begin to describe the mixture of emotions that we endured, but at the end of the day we got a beautiful daughter to go with our two fine lads, so happiness prevailed.
