I wanted to share this with you all as my heart is so proud. This validated my life today even though what I wish for is to be all together as a family, I could not have better children than this!I wish for my WH to have this someday, I truly do!
Well it was an interesting weekend to say the least. The kids were scheduled to go to WH's, they complained loudly to me about not wanting to go, especially the two boys. Friday they finally got off to go around 5 PM. Next thing I know DS(15) is next door at his friends, he is staying the night there. He calls me to see if he and friend can come over to play games. I said no, it is not your time to be hanging here, you should go to your dad's to play games. Didn't happen that way,they did not go over there. DS (16) had dinner at his dad's then came home around 8 PM, did not want to stay there, that is normal for him. He has work on Saturday and likes to be in his own bed. Saturday rolls around and DD (11) who was at her dads is on her way to a friends for a party sleep over, DS2 is off to another friends for the day and was due to be picked up by his dad to go back there later. I get a call around 6 from him telling me he does not want to go to dads. I told him to tell his dad, not me! He needs to work it out with him. The next thing I know his dad has picked him up and brought him home here. So he ended up with no kids on Saturday at all. Sunday he picks DD up at her friends and takes her to her riding lessons, then goes back with him to his place until dinner time.
On Saturday DS2 brought me a single red rose, a chocolate rose and a small bag of Lindt chocolates he bought himself for me for Mother's Day. He was so sweet. On Sunday DD brought me back a gift certificate for my favourite book store (she paid for it with her$ too), as well WH had bought me a gift card for Starbucks Coffee shops, he wrote a note in it that I was a wonderful mother and wrote xxxooo on the card. Nice gesture.
I felt sad about the kids not being with their dad, I wrote him an email telling him that I didn't know how to make the kids want to go and that I was worried that he was loosing them. He called me to see if I would talk to him about it. As usual he says he will have to find a way to connect, I mentioned that the connection was wavering a long time ago and that it would take work on his behalf. You know he does not call during the weeks or anything much so they don't even think of him much at all so he has a lot of thinking to do! I do want the kids to have their dad in their lives and told him that!
Just before dinner last night DS1 brings me bunch of flowers with a card that the kids had written in. He wrote "I love my mommy, you are the greatest mom ever.If you weren't our mom we would be lost without you! You make us great food, you keep a beautiful home and run your business. You are amazing! The last couple of months have been hard but you've pulled through and I'm very proud of you. Thanks for being so full of love for us, and you will always be the most important person in our lives, We love you!"
DS2wrote "Happy Mothers Day mom, I think your the greatest and I love you with all my heart!"
Well let me tell you that I cried because my heart was so full and also so sad at the same time. I guess I have done a few things right!
