Tonight we will leave you with friend of mine who will watch you while your Papa and I go to an "Artist Connection" at our church. It has been a hard week for you because your Grandma was here an extra night and although you love being with her, when she leaves you are very clingy with me. As if you have been distracted from the fact that I am not around or busy doing things around the house and once that distraction is gone you realize that you've missed me. I hate to leave you again tonight but we are trying to start a pottery and photography business and this artist connection will let us display our work and get to know people who are interested in art. Pottery and Photography are hobbies of both myself and your Papa so it is great for us to share that love and we are hoping that even if it never becomes a self supportive business that it can bring in some and maybe one day bring in enough where one of us can stay home with you.
I am very determined to be there for you in every way I can! When you are sick at school, I want to be able to come get you and bring you home to rest, eat jello and watch cartoons till you feel better. I want to be there to pick you up from school and hear about your day, good or bad. If you forget your lunch money or have a school trip I want to be there! Don't get me wrong you will know discipline and boundaries. You will work for the things you want and you will learn to be a responsible and respectful adult. But that is a process, and you will take on more as you grow.
So please understand that sometimes I have to be away from you but my love is always with you and we are working towards a bright future for our family to be financially stable and be able to be present, involved, and supportive of you as you grow.
