Missing Him
I'm sitting here and all I can think about is my baby..........no, not my boyfriend, MY SON. I've sent him to live with my mom in the Caribbean because I got fed up with the school system here. I know I'm doing what's best for him but I must admit I don't think I can take it anymore.
The plan was for him to go to school there till he's ready for Jr. High, and by then I would have been finished with Nursing school here, then, we would both be 'reunited'. He's doing extremely well in school there and it's way easier for me to go to school and work without the added pressure of finding babysitters, coming home to cook, do homework etc. but to tell the truth, those are the things I miss about him the most! I miss taking care of my baby, I miss having him here and being a part of his daily life.
He, on the other hand, is doing well. He sees this as an adventure and he loves it there, but me.....I'm a complete wreck. I feel like a part of me is missing. Everywhere I go, everything I see, I'm reminded of him and my heart aches. I've decided that when he comes for Christmas, I won't send him back. I haven't told my mom this yet because I know she'll talk me out of it. She is willing to take care of him until I'm done with school. I know that sacrifices have to be made but I just don't think I can last 2 more years. He is my only child and I have never been away from him this long before....it's tearing me up inside to not have him here with me. Now I just have to figure out how I'm gonna break this to my mother. I know she's going to say that I need to toughen up, but I've made up my mind.
I go to bed at night with his face in my head. I kiss his picture 'goodnight' every night. I long for the days we would curl up on the couch and watch cartoons together. I long for the days I would throw him on the floor and tickle him till he had to run to the bathroom. I long for the nights when he would curl up next to me and go to sleep. He is my everything, my entire world. I miss my 10yr old baby!
