Separation. AGAIN!
by Ashley Weeks Cart
Courtland and I just returned home from a whirlwind trip the South Coast of Massachusetts to drop Sunny off with Auntie Kimmy for 2 weeks of art camp by the sea. We spent the night, we sisters four, and beat the heat in the ocean for a few hours this morning, but then Kaki and I loaded up and headed back west.
She cried for a solid hour, bemoaning their SECOND separation, and expressing dismay that we KEEP MAKING THEM SAD AND NOT TOGETHER!
The reality is, they’ll be reunited in three days when James and I drop Kaki off at my parents on Cape Cod, and Kimmy and my parents juggle the two of them while James and I head to Chicago for a wedding and then Michigan to meet Sunny’s FGP’s newest addition, a sweet baby girl (OH-M-GEE BRING ON THE INFANT SNUGGLES!). But three days feels like an eternity in the life of a preschooler. And so sob she did.
How lucky they are to have one another and a love like this.
