It's an unappealing decision to be sure, but if that's the way it has to be, it won't be the end of his childhood. You and Precious are too much a part of his world for that to ever happen.

Oh come on now!! You have ...William,<BR/>Seven readers?? Oh come on now!! You have more than that!!!<BR/>In regards to leaving Mr. Man, I can hardly imagine. Well, I can imagine a little bit. I raised my daughter alone. When she was 4 years old, I got a residency at the Vermont Studio Center. I had to leave her for ONE month. I thought I was going to lose my mind the entire time I was away. However, I got through it because I knew I had to do what I had to do.<BR/>Now I realize one month is a lot shorter than 3-6. That is a LONG time, especially in "kid months". However when times get rough and sad, you will be able to get through it because your whole family will be better for it in the long run. It won't be easy or fun, but it can be done.<BR/>This too shall pass.<BR/>:-)<BR/>ShereeSheree Renselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950399494568831822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30978166.post-56242913461232399702008-05-09T09:33:00.000-07:002008-05-09T09:33:00.000-07:00When my youngest was very small one of us asked hi...When my youngest was very small one of us asked him for a 'squeeze' instead of a hug. When he moved in for the hug he gave out a little "squeeeeeze" the whole time he was hugging. From that point forward we always asked for squeezes.delmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07131005099349838185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30978166.post-11909361975230815762008-05-08T10:25:00.000-07:002008-05-08T10:25:00.000-07:00Penelope, I'm still not sure about it.

Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Pumpkin, If anyone knows what this will be like it's you. I pray each day that love will be enough.Mad Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04938885566478066779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30978166.post-91388431326339421812008-05-08T00:38:00.000-07:002008-05-08T00:38:00.000-07:00I can feel your pain over this decision.

And, as a parent I totally understand you not wanting to be separated from your child. <BR/><BR/>Hard decision but I know you will find the best solution for your family because it is clear you love them. Actually, that love is what matters the most.Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394876163239997623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30978166.post-58766286337570393522008-05-08T00:18:00.000-07:002008-05-08T00:18:00.000-07:00What a choice for you to have to make.

All I know is that you are doing everything with your family as your first priority and that is always a good thing. :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
