The Children had their fist day out with their Daddy today and it was bitter sweet. Well for me anyhow. In many ways it almost felt like old times, but it wasn’t. I wasn’t sure what to do with my self in the time they were away.
Once they returned, it was mayhem for a while as they excitedly told about their day. Then it was time to start the bedtime routine, the time just passes so fast at times I wonder if I’m not living in a time warp! But as we go on, I guess I’ll get used to the children being away for the day and eventually possibly days at a time as they spend time with their Daddy. Something as parents we will both have to get used to.
But today was also a new beginning in another way. I have started going to church again today. It has been a long five years since I last attended. It too was bittersweet, but in a good way and the bitter was soon washed away as I was able to accept that forgiveness and redemption are never far away.
