Last night was my first night ever without Sam. Todd and Sam left for Wisconsin yesterday to lend support to his family and attend a family funeral. It was a tough good-bye and there were several moments yesterday when I really missed both of them. It was also a little freeing to be completely on my own terms again (I wasn’t working yesterday either!). I’m not excactly living it up, though. I’ve got a lot of work to get done so I’ll be working longer hours. I will be having fun toinght–it’s my first volleyball game of the season (also my first since Sam since I injured my wrist several months ago).
There was a very touching moment yesterday before they left. Todd and I were hugging with Sam playing on the floor. Sam looked up at us then came over and hugged my leg. He’s generally not a cuddly kid and only comes in for a hug when we ask him to, but he must have sensed my sadness since he let Todd and I crouch down and have a little family hug!
Sam is doing really well with the change of scenery. Todd told me the flight was a breeze (although no nap….so much for his schedule!). The stranger anxiety seems to be gone and he’s having fun with all the new things to play with and places to explore.
