heart-ached

jackson was with his dad for 11 days.  those 11 days were harder than i thought they would be.  he had his normal time with him and then his dad took more time than scheduled.  there wasn't a time of the day jackson wasn't in my thoughts and prayers.  i remember one night coming home to see his empty bed and just lost it.  no mother should be away from their child for that long.



i picked jackson up from those LONG eleven days at the airport.  i had butterflies as i approached the curb.  he saw me and came running up with the biggest smile.  i tried to stay strong and not show how much emotion i had.  he can't know how much i missed him.  i had five red balloons tied to a jack-o-lantern lollipop.  i hugged and kissed him so much for the remainder of that night.  i cuddled him to sleep and then came back to his bed to give him a dozen little kisses several times.


it feels so nice to have him home.  he brings such a sweetness to everyone's lives.  i am so grateful for my sweet little jackson.
