i still cry, scarlett.

i cry each christmas eve as the kids go to their mom’s for christmas.

i cry on birthday mornings when i’m not there to wake them up with some silliness.

i cry when my youngest (11), and by far the most attune to emotions, texts me to say, “dude, i love you. you are very important in my life!”

but in crying i find relief and in that relief i find courage.

so, cry. cry wherever you want, as much as you want. courage, my friend!

Oh Scarlett, I see you, I feel you. I relate to your good - mid - abandoned. I'm feeling sad just typing this. Much respect and love through this difficult time.

I imagine my wife writing this and it shatters my soul into a million sharp needles of glass. I hope you two are doing fine now, wherever you are. Gorgeous photo, like "good old days" is written all over it.

I can’t like it because it’s to painful on all of you. I’m crying after reading this, it’s just not something I can put a heart on! God’s Blessings to all of you!

Dr. Exam room, job interview, front office of my child’s elementary school waiting to pick him up for therapy, Dr office waiting rooms….basically any and every inappropriate public situation you can think of. (Spoiler alert I did not get that job)

Thank you for sharing yours! ❤️
