I resent my father for some thing so I would hate for my child to resent me. I think he already does though.

Protecting them from harm, and losing them.

Losing my DD

My absolute worst fear in the world, I can't even think of it without having a physical reaction. My second fear would probably be something happening to either me or DH and having her grow up without us

The thought of something happening to either of them. For their sakes, of course, but also what it would do to myself and my husband if we lost one of them.

I like to think of myself as a strong, capable person, but the the reality is that I've never had that tested, and I'm not sure I COULD cope if something happened to one of the girls.

(And then I think of families that have lost all of their children in a car accident or something, and the thought just paralyses me.)
