It’s Friday, and the kids came over tonight.
All of them.
We went swimming for a while, we played video games, they ate just about everything that I had in the fridge. No drama, no trauma, just kids being kids. Around 10 my oldest said he wanted to call Mom and make sure she was OK. I told him I’m sure she’s fine. Probably enjoying the quiet.
They eventually curled up in various places and went to sleep. Leaving me to sit here and ponder life as I know it. Think about the choices I have made.
I want to think this is going to work. That we can all be happy.
I want to believe.
HEY – I’m ashamed to admit that I had lost the link to your page a long time ago. I’d seen some of your FB posts and it looked like something was up with your home life, so I went searching for the blog again (gotta love Mir!) – obviously a great deal is up! I’m sorry that things are so different right now. Above all I hope that life for you and the kids turns into some semblance of normalcy soon! Best Wishes – Randi
There’s something calming about knowing the hard part is over (moving out). I’m so proud of you and how well the kids are doing. You’re a great dad and yes, it’ll all be okay! (And hell, maybe even awesome) Keep up the good work!
