Thankfulness and Perseverance

[hoosiermama]

Ah, Sir--nothing better than a puppy you get to play with and then send home! (I'm a dog person--I have 4--so I speak from experience!)

Good for you for persevering. And not just persevering, but doing it with class and style. Your kids will always remember that. About the crying on pickup--it's a big change for them. They don't have the emotional skills to sort it all out. I remember doing the same things in visiting my dad--crying when I went to visit him, crying when I had to leave him. I'm sure it's really hard to see. But what a lesson you are giving your children--still being the loving dad they can count on for consistency. A rock in the storm. That's awesome!
