#2 son just told me that he’s taking me out to lunch for mother’s day! But I have to drive! Lol sweet boy!
Well he’s off. 🙁 on the brighter side, hubs & I will still have date night tonight, & as an added bonus, with friends! 🙂
For the last 9 mos, my eldest has been spending almost every weekend, most parts of every holiday with a friend in Sacramento. This has given us all respite and a it’s been needed. Today that changes. After today he is spending most of his time with this friend’s family and will be visiting here instead. 🙁
I think it would be easier if he was going off to a school or Job Corps. I’d feel like that was a step forward. But this is a step sideways at best. This is admitting that we can’t live together…that he’s better away from us. 🙁 That hurts.
It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home and showing him his room and his toys. I remember the first time he called me Momma.
But it’s been hard for a long time. My head understands why this is a good thing for ALL of us, but my heart does not! I just wish love HAD been enough to help him.
