T, Mom is headed to Dallas tomorrow.

It’s for work.

For that lawsuit deposition, actually.

Anyway, this weekend you were with Mom on the couch.

You leaned over, told her you would miss her, and said you felt like you could cry.

And then your bottom lip came out as big tears ran down your face!

Sweet girl.

But I told you that story to tell you this one too…

You and I were eating breakfast this morning.

I forget what we were talking about, but you laughed at something I said.

You cackled loudly.

And then cackled again, sounding forced, and completely out of character.

As your smile turned to a grinning look of pain, you said:

It’s kind of funny mom is going to be gone – right Dad?

Awwwww. 🥲

I mean, my sweet baby, over there just coping with her emotions the best way that she can.

Were gonna make it through this week, ok.

I promise.

I love you.

-Dad
