Deep breaths

Tomorrow night will be the first evening I'm leaving Beanie. We are going to a wedding and Beanie will be at my in-laws. Deep deep breaths. I mean, we are only staying the evening at the wedding and we're going to sleep at my in-laws that same night as the wedding is closer to their place than ours (and of course I much prefer checking on Beanie myself the same night!) So in reality I'm only leaving him for about 7 hours, most of which I hope he will spend asleep. But it's still freaking me out.....

When V died I spent several months imagining him Somewhere Else, crying for me and wondering why I didn't come. It was pure torture and led to moments of wishing for death so I could follow him to hold him close and soothe him. I don't know if Beanie will cry for me or his Papa tomorrow night. It will be difficult - but not torture.

I have some real posts in me somewhere, but no time to write them properly. That's because I prioritised form over substance in changing my blog template. Still got to put back all my links.

Good luck. Even a few hours can seem like a very, very long time.
