Today the kids had to say goodbye to Daddy for the last time. Thank you! That means we are that much closer to leaving this place all together but this distance has been long enough and we need to be as a family more than just every other weekend. Knowing it was the last time, I managed to keep from crying. Aiden appreciated this. Funny story: the first time Jason came to visit and leave I cried because I knew how lonely and hard that first 2 week stretch was without him. By the next time, I was stronger so I wasn't actually going to cry but as I was hugging Jason goodbye, Aiden goes, "Oh great, here we go...she's gonna start crying". It was funny. He's been such a strong little boy and knows everything is going to be fine. He trusts us and life enough to know that Dad comes back, we will all be together, and that we are off to our next adventure. If only I could see the world through his eyes. It's amazing. The next time Jason comes home will be for good until we drive to New Mexico as a family. It's bittersweet but as Aiden would say, "It's going to be fine Mom". And it will.
