Sad Day

I'm sure you are too young to remember this day, but last Sunday (Sept. 5th), your mom received a 'text message' from her fiancee telling her he wasn't ready to get married. They had gotten engaged last December (2009), and they were working on her moving you and her down to Florida where he lived. She would have transferred her job down there (that was in the works) and gotten you into a Head Start program of some sorts.... (we would have missed you like crazy, Papa and I... , but we would have wished you both the best life you could ever have). A couple of days later, I noticed your mom's 'ring' was off her finger. Like I said.... sad day.
It's now a few days later. I think she's doing pretty well. I know she's sad, and it's too bad she received the news the way she did, but I think... no, I KNOW it's for the best. I'm glad he did it BEFORE you guys disrupted your lives to move all the way there.
Now, if I'm really selfish, ... I'm glad you are gonna be with us (by the way, you live in the basement in our house with mom, in case you don't remember that when you're older) for Christmas and the other holidays. Knowing that you could have been moving before Dec., made me want to do all the things I wouldn't have been able to do with you for a while (I don't like FL and probably wouldn't have flown down there much... well, .... maybe I WOULD have, since I would have missed you like crazy!!-- for no one else would I have considered it  ;-)   ). But now, I don't feel the rush to do everything that would be memorable to YOU, and cram it in a short span of time. Come to think of it, maybe that's not so good, because now I don't have to do so much .... hahaha. Awww... you know I probably will, since you are such fun at this age.
I know someday you will have a dad (not that you weren't born with one, but we won't go there today), but I guess the right dad has to come along at the right time. He has to be pretty special for me to accept him as YOUR dad! The one you were born with wasn't right for you. He didn't deserve you. Please.... just trust me on that.
Okay, so ....On with the next chapter of your life. You have school starting soon....a new teacher (I hear she's great- from your babysitter, Shee-shee---Sheila Brown). Her name is Donna Acker (Mrs Acker to you). You are growing into a fine boy, even though you have your days. Don't we all? It's nice to hear that you 'were the best boy ever', when I pick you up from Shee-shee's house. So ... let's hope and pray mom gets to feel better soon, and we're kinda back to square one. And, message to mom.... breathe.
