Last year my wife and I spent a great weekend with her sister and her husband. They are both formerly divorced and so their children were away for the weekend and our son spent the weekend with his grandparents who live in the same town. My wife and I spent the night at their house, I don’t remember if it was one or two nights. But on Saturday we spent the day touring the wine area of North Carolina; it really was a great weekend for all of us.
That was last year, before that about four years ago, I attended my fathers wedding and was gone a week, Junior spent the week with his grandparents and while my wife had to stay at our home and go to work. I was very busy that week.
That was the last time I was not with my son other than an errand around town or while my wife and I had a date. This afternoon we met up with Juniors grandparents and he went to spend a week with them, which will be very good for him. I’m not to sure about me; this will be the first time that I have not been with him and been at home. At least the first time I can remember. It will be the first time that I can remember that my wife and I will not just be on a date, we will be at home, and he will not be here. It will be a very big challenge for me. I am very accustom to him waking, talking to me off and on about this or that, the spontaneous hugs, tucking him in, kissing him on the forehead at night, and checking on him before I go to bed.
This evening we talked with him on the phone and prayed together. I will have to stay as busy as I can. I know that my wife will miss him very much also. We are a very close family. Being the at-home one, has really given me an opportunity to spend so very much time with my son.
I already miss him.
