I do think for the most part I have been a stable influence - I've tried to maintain a lot of the routines, values, expectations, etc. However, I don't feel as though I have been strong enough (physically, mentally, emotionally) to do everything I wanted to do. For that I will always have regrets. I really want to be a support to him, as well as his sisters, when they are married with kids. I haven't had the support of parents or in-laws and I hope I can be to them.
I plan to enjoy V-Day and son's senior night.
Some exciting news today...a grant application I wrote for work was actually funded to the tune of $1 million dollars! It's been a while since I've had that kind of validation at work and it felt good. My boss was recently fired, as well as the CFO - so it's been a very tough environment. This news lifted a lot of spirits.
Oh well, back to work on the scrapbook collage for senior night. First time in a long time that I've enjoyed crafting.
