…for the next ten days.
They are going with their mother to Hawaii in the morning. I haven’t been away from them for this long since they were born
They were really sad I couldn’t be coming with them and were hugging me tight as I sat in my Ex wifes living room. Getting up and walking out that door…
Two nights ago I heard Claire trying to explain to her little brother why mommy and daddy didn’t live together anymore like in the old house and it nearly broke my heart.
Hearing those words I said to them being thrown back in my face with the added earnestness of a six year old who is trying to understand…
I know they will have a good time but I will miss talking to them everyday and seeing them.
Sorry to dump but I just had to let this out.
It will get better right? damn damn damn
Sorry you’re feeling down, Mike. I don’t really do cyberhugs, but I’ll give you a real one at ChiDope on Saturday. No backing out - it sounds like you definitely need a night of drunken debauchery.
In ten days, my stepson, his two older sisters, and their mother will be moving to New York. While I can’t say I’ll miss their mom all that much, I’ll miss the kids.
My husband hasn’t said much about it, really, but I know it’s tearing him up. The girls aren’t his, but he’s the only daddy they know. He and his son are extremely close. My husband loves being a dad more than anything else in the world. His ex has said more than once that she’s going to move, but something always seems to get in the way. Now it looks like it’s really going to happen. I think that’s why my husband isn’t talking much about it–he’s not going to believe it until they’re actually gone. Then I suspect he’ll lose it.
We’ll see the kids from time to time–according to their mom, it’s only about a 4 1/2-5 hour drive. And I really wouldn’t be surprised at all if they move back inside of a year.
Your kids will come back, Mike. They’ll tell you how much they missed you, and what a great time they had, and how much they missed you, and look at the cool stuff they got, and how much they missed you. I know it’s hard, but they’ll be back. ((((MikeG))))
