Oh, so feeling you mama. My daughter has been making me cards to bring to work. Today she asked me to make her one in return that she could take with her in her lunchbox at school to “remember me.” Yeouch.

An empty suitcase was how you were feeling before this happened. As a father of four, kids are always looking to be on the go and socializing with their friends. When the parents are the ones doing this, they instantly feel freedom and then emptiness.

From the woman I met at the Nevada Conference, I would say they are just being strong like their mom and trying to make a point. That no matter how many times you head out that door for work, you better never forget them. The kids were giving you some tough love and I am sure they will need a mom’s hug soon.

Best of luck.

Oh ouch. I am feeling this like a gut punch. Does it help if some of us get it? Urgh.

I’m banking on the same thing Keyona is.

And, BTW, here’s anticipating that the daddy ensures this doesn’t happen again in the future. (No one wants to see a begging mommy. Except an angry kid, of course.)

Hm, not to worry I have a feeling it’s not quite over.

Oh, that is crushing. My kids dislike me leaving very much and what pains me most is the tears or fits I hear when I call home. It is hard to balance what I love, what I want to do with being a mommy because they both mean so much to me. They seem to get why I leave but their hearts don’t.

Don’t worry…one day, they’ll be proudly talking about you to their friends! Hope you can listen in!

Oh this one got me. Our children moving in and out of ages and stages is all-together too heartwarming and too heartbreaking to handle sometimes.

Here’s to finding something in your suitcase next time. Even if it’s one of their dirty socks.

Ah the steps of growing children sometimes trample on our hearts…

Trust in this knowledge – you are doing a good job! You now have proof! Even if it is absent!

I’d order us both a nice cold martini… nice post!
