Honestly, Jen, I’m not so afraid that she’ll forget me again. I truly believe that OR is better than it was 2 years ago. But, like 2 years ago, this will force W to do everything for herself. She’s very proud of her independence. This pride came close to becoming a phobia of dependence – especially dependence on me. I’m afraid of reinforcing this mindset by not being around.
Also, I’m a hopeless homebody. I love relaxing at home with W and kids in the evening. I love my karate routine. I love dropping in on friends and having them drop in on me. I love my morning coffee with W and (when it happens), my Sunday breakfasts.
All of this is soon to disappear from my life. I don’t know when or for how long. The last word I got was that they want to rent apartments instead of using hotels. Doesn’t bode well for me.
Rayanne,
Please don’t apologize for not getting back to me. I wasn’t expecting it. I only wanted to express my appreciation to you, and if possible return the favour. You always managed to pop up whenever I was feeling low, and I appreciate it immensely.
