I stayed home today with my oldest....she woke up sick and I took her to the dr and she has strep throat. Usually when they get sick they want their mommy. So i texted my W and told her, I tried to handle it myself but she wanted her mommy. It didn't bother me but usually when she comes over they don't want her to leave so I thought it would be worse this time since she was sick.
My W came over to the house after school and laid in bed with my oldest until she fell asleep. TBH it was really hard to see and it made me realize how much I miss her. Seeing the tenderness of her laying with my D as she fell asleep and my W being tender brought back memories of us as a family.
I held it together in front of her but I will admit I currently have a few tears flowing.
We made a little small talk nothing major but I do miss her and I wish this didn't impact me like this. Before she left she game my youngest a hug, told her to be a good little sister and help me take care of my oldest.
Again....it was tenderness from her that I havent seen in a while. I know it had nothing to do with me and it was all about my D's but it was nice to see. After hugging our youngest she said sorry and good luck, I said thanks and off she went.
