The Three Musketeers

The hardest part about splitting up with my husband 3.5 years ago was having the kids spend nights away from me. I’m still not used to it. Until 2006, I had spent 6 years being a Mom and read them every single bedtime story and tucked them in every night of their lives. They only spend at the most 2 nights a week away from me but my heart hurts every time. I’m now waiting for them to come home and can’t wait to squish them. As my daughter says every time we reunite and I squeeze them tight, “I love hugs and pain.”
