Asher turned two and a half today. I keep thinking...in six months when he is turning three we'll be halfway done with this "journey."
Yesterday our friends who were visiting the Des Moines area drove Jake's truck home. It is now parked on the driveway. With all of Jake's coming and going in the last two months, it was a very visible sign to both Asher and myself that when the truck was around, so was daddy, and when the truck was gone, daddy was, too.
Trying to explain to a two and a half year old why daddy's truck is in the driveway but that daddy isn't here is really, really difficult.
Stupid terrorists.

Emily,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a good job. 2 year olds take things at face value. Tell the truth. Daddy's work is far away, so he left his truck at home. We will have a good time when he comes home and we will miss him while he is working. We are all behind you and love you. Remember, Asher will feel what you are feeling. Let your friends be your sounding board and keep it positive for him. love, Diane
