The past two days were less about me seeing everything and more about Cole getting acclimated to life here. We gave the boys time to play and Cole and I had some time to ourselves to shop and wonder around the village. We found some things to bring back for Anna Mae, Truman, and Grace so they would know that Cole is thinking about them while he plays with the toys we originally bought and now Cole and Michael want to keep here.
It is 5am- I am up- not to sit on the balcony and read today, but to begin coming home. It is very hard to leave Cole here. We talked about it last night. I told him the story about the first time I left him to go to a movie with Tim. I made it to the credits, grabbed Tim’s hand and demanded he return me to my baby. That mother thing is pretty powerful stuff.
So when he said, ” I will really miss you mom.” I thought he should know that honestly I will really miss him. Not just because I enjoy his company. Not just because he makes me smile. Not just because he reminds me of his dad. But also because that mother thing is pretty powerful stuff.
On the other hand I am overwhelmed by the people here. The family wants him to be here. They know I am scared.
They have planned so many things and Cole is really excited about it all. So hopefully the ride to the airport will be the hard part and then he will focus again on the adventure.
