I can't. I just try to wipe the tears from my eyes so no one at work will ask if I'm ok.

I had bone crushing anxiety leaving Eva for just a few days when I my dad was very ill. Anxiety meds were my best friend! "Do the the next thing" Is great advice. It will definitely get you through the steps ahead. And by the way, Eva had a blast while I was gone! A little teary at bedtime, but certainly nothing that her sweet auntie couldn't help with. Abe has the foundation he needs to let someone else care for him a little bit, that means you are doing your job right! Cant wait to hear about your trip!<br /><br />beth hedwallThe Hedwall Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157297569667230093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-63661842594010987412011-05-15T05:48:30.852-07:002011-05-15T05:48:30.852-07:00It's amazing how lovely it can be to lean on s...It's amazing how lovely it can be to lean on someone who has this much wisdom, just plain truth within her. I didn't even have to follow your link to know it was coffeemom offering that loving support. Talk about being buoyed across the waves, I am very moved. Lori, I dread it so much, to leave my boy who so reminds me of your little Abe. I'm so so sorry that you are feeling this, but I know you can do it. You can do it. <br /><br />p.s. this has stirred me to really push Manny into starting sleepovers at our friends' house, where he will stay while we are gone.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024229630052292112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-71835581946635979102011-05-14T21:06:33.368-07:002011-05-14T21:06:33.368-07:00Oh, how I love to read your blog.

So…I'll never lie to you, I'm telling you the truth, you can do this. <br />You ARE doing this. Just right. hang in, hang on, you're gonna make it and it's all glorious.
