I've been
really looking forward to our upcoming drive down to Klamath Falls. We are
leaving this Thursday night, likely arriving super early Friday morning. It's
been almost four years since I visited there the first and last time I did so.
That time was visiting Crystal and her family, staying with them, and visiting
with my dad around the Christmas we first had Gwen. It was Tom, Gwen, and I
driving down there. This time, Crystal and I and our three girls are going down
there together. She's taking the girls to a family event and I'm staying with
Gwen at my dad and step-mom's house while down there.
My husband will
be staying home because he works all of the days we'll be gone. I just realized
this morning how hard it will be to be away from him for that long. No, I'm not
going to cancel going or anything, but I'll miss him. It's been rare to have to
sleep alone these past five years, especially the over four we've actually been
living together. Hoping there's enough time before I have to leave to spend
some quality time together, just the two of us.
Trying to
communicate with him that I really will miss him. I know he's upset that I'm
leaving because he sleeps poorly alone with his night terrors and neither one
of us have ever been without Gwen for more than a few hours at a time. I also
need to talk to Gwen and let her know what we're doing. Remind her that we can
call Daddy anytime she wants, but we won't see him for a few days. Fingers
crossed she understands and doesn't get too upset about it. Thankfully, I think
my dad has a webcam so we may be able to video call him on his phone at some
point.
Take care of
your loved ones, hold them close. Make sure they know how much you care,
because even though it's 'obvious', little reminders make the heart very happy
<3
Yours truly,
Liz
