Today was a no fun day. Things are starting to set in. Michael is going to be gone for a good part of 12 weeks. I will see him maybe 5 days out of the whole 12 weeks. I knew when he applied for the job that this was going to happen if he was hired. But today, I realized that it is just 6 shorts days away. Then after the training is over, he will be moved to his new location while I am at home selling the house, packing and getting everything ready.
Ever since I found out Michael had the job, I knew there was one thing I would need before he left. I would need a break. I wanted a break. I have been wanting to do something other than just hang out with my kids (as much as I love them). An opportunity arose a few weeks ago for a break with friends. I was so excited. Then it ended up not working out for me. I cried. I cried a lot. I wanted so badly to have one more "something" before Michael left.
Today it hit me. I will not have that opportunity. So, I cried some more. I haven't cried in awhile, so it was due time for me to cry. I cried in church. I cried at home. I just let it all out.
The point of this post is not to complain (okay, maybe a little complaining :). In fact, it is quite opposite. Today, I was able to witness good friendship. Two people, who had not even see me cry today....brought me over a treat. They weren't doing it because they knew I was sad today. They were doing it just because they thought of it. I feel so grateful that they were thinking of me. It doesn't make everything better....but it sure did make me smile. So thank you to those two friends. I always hope to be that inspired :)
