Father's Day
I have read this before. I know. I checked the reviews first. Yet, I re-read it... again! I loved it more the second time around... and it is not even love.

I've read all seven of JKR's books multiple times and I always pick up on things I missed the first time around. I'm glad you enjoyed my story even more during this second reading.

Wonderful! You've captured the beauty of parental love and I appreciate the kind way you portrayed a young father hoping to measure up. Thank you.

This was an easy story for me to write because my husband and I share parenting duties every day. As much as I try not to turn into my mother, I know my husband works doubly hard not to constantly negatively judge our child, so writing about Harry's fears came easily. Thank you for your praise. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me you like the story.

Lovely Story Arnel!! You packed a lot of emotions into this piece.

Please passon to Aggiebell, I understand her 'pain'. I had my case of chickenpox at 35

Parenting a child, whether it's your first or your fifth, is an emotional state of being because life with a little one is never dull. Poor Harry just has a few more demons to fight the rest of us when it comes to pre-parent fears. I'm very glad you liked the story and let me know it moved you.

And yes, I will pass your "condolences" to Aggiebell!

Very sweet. I remember feeling just like Ginny as I waddled about the final month.

I do have a question about two-year-old Rose playing in the Quidditch game. That seems a bit young to me.

I think we all waddle at some point in our pregnancies, some more than most, though.

As for your question about Rose being two at the Quidditch match, I based it on the ages of the children in the Epilogue of DH. If one considers that Rose and Albus are both first years during the scene and Lily still has two years to wait, then logic says that both Al and Rose have most likely been two-years-old for at least nine months at the match and Lily's birth... they could very well be hitting three within the next two weeks to two months, but no sooner because of the cut-off of approximately August 31 for receiving a Hogwarts letter. Interesting puzzle, isn't it?

Thanks for your thought-provoking review. I always enjoy answering you.

Thanks for sharing this Arnel, even if it was intended to be shared six months earlier! (that Beta note was a laugh). I'm glad it was shared after all and late is better than never! I loved looking in on these precious moments in Harry and Ginny's life! It was fun to watch 'little' James and Albus at the zoo...that scene was so easy to visualize and so well written. Lily's birth was perfect! Sweet and touching. You captured every moment in the story so beautifully. Thanks again for sharing! -R

You and I are very familiar with how children act at a zoo, so it was very easy to substitute little James and Al for my son and use some of my own precious memories in the story.

I've always visualized home births for all the Weasley children: Molly and Arthur don't strike me as the hospital-birth type of parents. Because of this image, it just seemed natural that Ginny have at least one of her children in the traditional Wizarding fashion, a home birth, complete with the completely enthralled and bowled-over look on the new daddy's face!

Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate your review more than you know.

Thank you for this wonderful story! Being a husband and father, and being w/ the right woman, Harry's truly a happy contented man. Harry deserves the best & stories like this is always an enjoyable read.

I whole-heartedly agree with you that Harry is a contented man and I know Ginny is very pleased to help him be so happy. I'm glad you liked the story and wanted to share your thoughts with me. Thanks for reviewing.
