And Then It Was My Turn

to pick up the phone and make the hardest call I've had to make in years.

I called my ex and I told him that it was not a matter of if w were going to move anymore, it was when.

And when I hung up, I cried. For I cannot imagine what it would feel like to have someone take my son several states away.


I cannot imagine at all.

What a tender heart! I'll be praying for you and for LM and for his dad. Hang in there!

wow - thanks for this snapshot of perspective. What an incredibly difficult thing to have to do. I will keep you, LM and your ex in my prayers. (not that it matters, but I've named your ex Bruce -- if I'm wrong, don't say anything, it would really screw me up :)

In completely unrelated news... I thought of you last night -- I finally finished A Thousand Splendid Suns. Oh my did the tears run for what happened to Mariam. And her thoughts as she walked into the stadium were nothing short of gut-wrenching. I really wish that this novel would be made into a movie. And I was completely shocked that Tariq came back. Whew! I am still reeling.

Wow. I can't imagine that either. What did he say?
