I’ve written a lot on here about my mother, mostly in the lost data base. We haven’t spoken in over three years, it was her decision. I guess she didn’t want to communicate through the written word anymore, and I stood my ground when she decided to push my boundaries by calling me. So, contact was [...] Ever wake up in the middle of the night, try like a bugger to get back to sleep but you brain won’t settle into a nice relaxing pattern? Yeah, sucks don’t it? So, it’s three am.

Unfortunately it’s mostly the three year old instigating it all. We’ve tried to be extra understanding, I can’t imagine how hard this will be for them. They have no real concept of time so [...] Glen leaves for 6 months (maybe a little longer) in only 15 days. *insert dramatic sighing here* I’ve been hoping that maybe he wouldn’t really go.
