Start of the end..

I call her every night, and a couple of times already she has sighed before getting on the phone, as I know she doesn't always want to talk at times.

That is tough. I've been lucky so far in that I get to see them after school every day for an hour. So I've only had maybe one stretch last summer that I didn't see them. That was five days. Otherwise the longest has been three.

If W gets her way, I'd be down to about 10 days a month. I know it's less for others.

I just have to trust in the process that my history of being more of an everyday presence than W and having a career more conducive to family stuff will work in my favor.
