And you're right, it's such a comfort to have your family around when faced with those kinds of challenges. My girl misses her Daddy every day when he goes to work and he does travel overnight on business. Something that's working for us is that Kurt's made some home videos of him talking directly to Kelsey surrounded by her toys in her playroom where she knows its safe. He emphasizes that he'll call her every day and he'll be home soon to play. ODotter is really adorable! And I too, love Joni Mitchell's Circle Game :) Hi OMom,

I love "The Circle Game." You are really dealing with the two extreme ends of the life cycle here. It's a strange situation to be in. I'm sorry about Great Grandma. Beautifully written post.

That's really hard. And I am also sorry that the Dotter got confused on the trip. Sometimes, we fail to see life from their POV.... I am so sorry about grandmother. That’s really hard.

I find that if I neglect to explain anything out of the norm to LSP in advance, she creates wild scenarios in her mind. Sounds like I'll be doing lots of explaining for many years to come if she's anything like Omega Dotter. Good luck this week. Oh, and enjoy the extended daylight...!!!

I can relate - and yes, thank goodness we have love to get us through these things. Explaining hard things to our children is such an act of love itself. I’m so sorry you’re going through hard times.
