funny thing. just put the kids to bed and my daughter needed to use the potty (again). I swear its becoming a stalling technique. lol. anyway, she was, well, taking her time shall we say, so I was sitting with her and we just started singing songs...we sang a dozen or so, and it was just the sweetest moment ever. and I thought about what that moment would have been if H had been here. he would have likely been irritated, gotten snappy with her about stalling, and would have put me on edge so I would have been a bit jumpy/snappy. most likely I wouldn't have had the sweet little moment we just had.
and I am beginning to really see the good that could come with us not being together. I think that list is growing longer. don't get me wrong, it still kills me that he is doing this, that the kids will be from a "broken" home and such. there are things I very much miss about him. But I'm also starting to accept that there are things I really like about not having him here.
