JUST YOU AND ME

Aspen,
your mom has been gone now for 8 months (august 2005). she calls about 3 times a week. you call her a few times a week. you do fine during the day. it is after you talk to her before bed that it is hard on you. you often miss her and are close to tears at least once or twice a week. i wish i could do something to help you.
your mom moving away had nothing to do with how she feels about you. she loves you and misses you, just as much as you miss her. she left for other reasons. she would have taken you with her if she could have but she knew it was best that you stay in charlotte with me and bubby.
he misses your mom just as much as you do. it is hard on him at night too. david tells me that he has broken down and cried too.
im sorry that this chapter in your life is being written. im doing my best to make it as happy a time as possible for you. i cant be your mommy, but ill be the best daddy i know how to be.
hopefully this chapter will only be a temporary one and your mom can find a way to come back here for you and bubby for good.
