So I just needed to take a break. Here I am in the middle of the night packing away. It's my own fault really. Maybe because I find it difficult to face the fact that I am getting on a plane th.s afternoon. I've kind of dragged my feet getting everything together. Nora has done a fantastic job of washing my clothes and getting other things ready. The kids have been bouncing around everywhere so I've been bouncing with them.
The tears have started to come more frequently from me and Nora and Annalisa. We have our moments. Jon-Gabriel is still too young to really understand. But it is hard to come to terms with leaving your family for such a long period of time.
My family is my life.
Nora and I share the same view. We do what we think is right for our family. And this whole thing will be painful sometimes but it is short term and the rewards are great. And I am not talking financially. I'm not aiming at becoming rich (although that would be nice), I just want to be comfortable with everyday life and be able to offer our kids the things they will need in life, like a good home of our own, a good foundation of family which comes from being able to spend time with them and the things they are interested in, spending time at the breakfast and dinner table talking about any and everything, and not having to work so many hours to make those things happen.
My parents were able to make that happen for Ryan and I.....and I am amazed that they were able make so many things happen. Being on the parent side, I can truly appreciate what we had growing up.
Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad. I will love you always.
Okay, I have to finish packing now. I already know I am not going to sleep tonight.
