Thank you so much, Daisy. Sometimes I worry that I'm all alone feeling this way. I mean, I know other moms struggle with the same things, but sometimes I feel so unbelievably overwhelmed by my feelings that I guess I wonder how much of it is "normal".
>>It is totally OK that this is all about you. It means your child is blessed with a mom who loves him completely...and loves being with him.>>And remember, no matter where he is, you are with him. He carries his mommy with him, soothing his hurts, saving things to tell you, always ready with a hug. Learning that the people who love you are coming back to get you is a huge gift to give him.
I will try my hardest to remember this, Daisy. The problem is, I guess I wonder if this is a hard lesson for him to be learning at his age. Should I be leaving at all? And then, the reason I have to leave is because of my financial irresponsibility in the past. It's not his fault.
Oh dear. I'm sorry. I guess I just won't let myself get out of my pity party at the moment.
Thank you for understanding what I'm feeling. And thanks for the congrats. I won't know for sure until tomorrow, but I do believe I've landed in a pretty good job.
Oh, btw, I watched my neighbor's cat while she was on vacation recently. When she came back she brought me an oven mitten and some kitchen towels as a thank you. They have a cute little kitty on them and her name is Daisy! Now, for sure I think of you everytime I bake. :)
I hope you're doing okay, Daisy.
Take care,
Laurie
