I'll be heading to Temple for Christmas about 8 hours from now. I do this with a heavy heart. Never in my life would I have ever imagined a scenario where I would be spending Christmas without my beautiful boys.
I gave the boys back to Lori this morning, and now I start an 7 day stretch without getting to see them. One of those 7 days is Christmas. Is it right.....nope. Is it fair.....nope. Is it in the "best interest" of the boys......nope. It's just wrong.
It's hard to describe the feeling of watching your children, and feeling their excitement on Christmas morning. It's unfiltered joy. Christmas mornings are so fulfilling as a parent, you wouldn't trade them for any amount of money. It's one thing in life that's truly priceless.
I am going to miss all of that this year, and no matter how much I enjoy my visit to see my mom and brother in Temple, I will be immensely sad knowing that I am missing out on Christopher and Aidan's Christmas day joy.
It is what it is, and I will make it through. Life goes on. The shell gets a little harder.
I hope each and every one of you reading this blog has a wonderful Christmas, and a happy and safe New Year.
God Bless,
William
