Sharron sent me this a day or so ago... "gus is doing well. i asked him if he wanted to call you today. he said, "no, that's okay." i asked if he misses you and he had the GREATEST response: "My daddy's too good to be missed." HOW ABOUT THAT!? Love our boy." Not to get all my personal stuff all over your blog, but we'll if we don't speak life it all get's too silent. So, hows this for a postscript on my previous post.

I see Gus for five days and then I don't see him for two days and so on. (For those of you who don't know me, I'm "unmarried" in Gus language.) But in a funny way, it may be much the same. separation is separation. It hurts but its also an opportunity for self care and finding some of what we had before the baby appeared. NOTE: I realize this is different for moms... Regardless, the fact of the matter is, there's no way to stop change and time and all the collisions between the past and the present. At times, I have to keep myself strong and not fall prey to dark thoughts. But once I win that battle, I realize that there is no thing happening here that is not natural and meant to be. A child begins to find their way in the world and whether it is by way of a kindergarten classroom or a divorce, they must make that journey. They are growing into the world. And in order to do that, they have to grow away from us (a little at a time, step by step). Ultimately, it seems to me, our next task as parents is to live well and show them how it is done as individuals. So that the bond of parent and baby is replaced by the bond of human beings. Or some such thing. I'm still thinking about this. Jonny. I feel your pain. I see Gus for five days and then I don’t see him for two days and so on.
