WAW Using God III

[pigskin]

Journaling:

Yesterday my W picked up the kids for our weekly swap-out, and lingered a bit. We had a very nice interaction. She was cheerful and friendly. It was very refreshing to see, and I found myself thinking, "Man, this is the old W that I enjoyed".

I can't help but think if she was like she was yesterday and asked to come back, I would probably let her. But that is not going to happen. It is rare to see her like she was yesterday.

Kids are still doing great, but I worry about them. Months ago I asked them to "include a prayer for Mommy" along with their nightly prayers. This week my middle son asked why they keep saying a prayer for Mommy. I just told him it is so that she feels better, and added "you want her to come home, don't you?" He nodded yes, then said "But Mommy said she's never coming home." I told him, "Well, that's why you say a prayer."

He asked "What is she so upset about?" I just told him I didn't know, and left it at that. I didn't want to throw Mommy under the bus.

I realized I probably shouldn't pretend they aren't concerned and don't have questions. I need to make sure they know they can ask me anything.
