FLTC, You are making me cry. The story you told about those toys. Kids grow up fast enough, but for some reason, separation seems to speed it all up, am I right? I am so sorry about your sitch. I don't know if this is any consolation but you are not alone. Everything will work out fine. Have hope. Keep the faith that youu are a good father. The new memories thing is true! It's true! I am really into Paula Dean , the Southern cook. She is very American and traditional, but she was a single parent with two kids. She showed off her new spouse and talked about all the new recipes she made up for him. I don't know why, but this gave me hope that if it did not work out with my H, maybe I can remmarry in 10-20 years like Paula?? It is never too late to make new traditions! Most of my students are between 7-11 and the general consensus is that they are still "babies" until 4th grade! That makes me so happy because I really wanted to have another baby, but we'll see! For now, I will just enjoy what I got. You will be home soon enough and buying the new cool toys at Target. Look to the future. There is still magic out there.
