E has left for his new job.
Of course he had to, without this opportunity we would have lost everything. Of course we are so grateful for it and we know it is a sacrifice on both of our parts. Of course the kids will miss him terribly, but we all just have to do it.
As I stood in our driveway with my two kids at my side and the baby on my hip and watched him drive away the tears fell from my eyes. My daughter was screaming "Daddy! Daddy, don't go!" which broke my heart even more.
He will come home, often even. My head knows it but can someone please tell my heart?
I just don't know if I can stand the loneliness. I just don't know if I can be everything to everyone here, alone. Couple that with our house being put on the market today and I may crack.
I can do it, I know I can, because I have to. I just already miss him so much.
So send me strength and positive vibes will you, and really, a vat of wine wouldn't hurt either.
I can't even imagine. Yes, it's all for the purpose of survival, but it still stinks. Hang in there girl.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you guys moving up there as well? When the house sells?
Luckily, the olders are in school. Will give you a break from being outnumbered!
th ekids and I will move there when this house sells, until then we are here.
ReplyDeleteIn someways I wish it would sell fast sdo we can just be a family but I love it here and I love our house, so I want to stay as long as possible.
For three hours a day it will just be me and K so that will be a nice break for R & L and me!
I can't begin to imagine how hard this must be for you guys. I'd gladly send you wine, but Customs frowns on that sort of thing. So I send you strength and positivity to make it through.
ReplyDeleteThis made me tear up. This must be difficult, but you know, hopefully it wont last too long. Things happen for a reason and you just have to keep telling yourself that. I am sending you positive vibes!!
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of strength. I know this can be a hard time. I know there will be lots of times when you question choices. There's a greater good. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteTuesday...what a week for you! I'm at cheer practice with my daughter and just got all teared up reading this...Kindergarten and the new job in one week...WOW. Huge good vibes coming your way, you seem like a super strong woman!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, that is so hard. I'm sorry ... hang in there. You'll be OK.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hard situation. Are you moving when the house sells?
ReplyDeleteBrittany, we will move when the house sells, In this market, I don't know when that will be.
ReplyDeleteWanna buy a house?
It's harder than I'll ever understand, I'm sure. This is going to be a defining period in your life, and you'll get through it, you really will. Have faith in yourself, your family, and reach out whenever you need help - we internets are always here, round the clock.
ReplyDeleteOh Tuesday Girl. You are so strong. This will make being 'back together' all the sweeter. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you ...
I'm sorry. I know that will be extremely difficult for everyone, but I'm so glad he go a job. Good luck on selling your house.
ReplyDeleteMy heart ached for you after reading this post. I hope things go smoothly for you!
ReplyDeleteI teared up a little too...that is so hard. Such a great opportunity, but so hard in the transition. I hope that your house sells soon. :) Lots of positive vibes from Emily.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you guys... hope things go smoothly.
ReplyDeleteI will pray that your house sells in no time. I know the loneliness ... hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but believe deep down in my guts that once the dust settles again, this major move will be the beginning of something even better than what you had before E lost his job. Of course the children will miss their dad terribly, but they'd miss him even if he was going to work a block away. You've been through a lot this past year and I appreciate how difficult it's been.
