My 12 year old son just left for a week to Vancouver, on a cultural exchange with his class. A week. And this is my week with the kids, but now it will be my and my daughter. A girl’s week. Let’s make the most of it (ie: eating quiche, watching horror movies and reality tv… hehe).

Like the sand after a storm, things are settling down. Getting used to being by myself. I never lived alone. Never watched so many CSI episodes in a week.

Tried to be there for a mourning friend. It’s hard, considering there was 250kms between us. I don’t think it would’ve changed anything though. Being there was all that I could do, all that was expected, and all that was really necessary. When we finally touched, it was the right time.

It’s a beautiful day.

My fears are fading, I’m feeling more confident than ever. It’s still hard to deal with him… I guess that will remain for a while. I’ sad when I see him, afraid that he too is sad. BUT.

It’s a beautiful day. Movin’ on.

    Every day will get better, as the sand settles. I hope that you and your daughter have a great week, just hanging out together! Alexis went to Florida last weekend, so it was just me and the boys. It was fun!
