Goodbye Daddy

My dad, my stepmom, and my 2 sisters left us this morning to go back to their home. At the time that they left, I did feel sad, but I felt a lot of contentment and happiness, I was happy that my dad spent time with my kids and got to know them, I was happy to spend time with my sisters, and also for the opportunity to bond with my dad and stepmom. It was a great visit.

Tonight, I feel tired and depressed (t-pressed?), the house is gloomy, empty, and my middle child cannot sleep… he misses his aunties. Now I feel like crying, sobbing, now I just feel the loneliness in my heart. I miss the laughter, the chatter, the constant motion of having a lot of family, the love, the happiness, the peace.

But, my kids are back in their routines, and I can go back to putting my focus on them, and I am sure tomorrow I will feel better. And my dad and his family will be embarking on a new adventure of their own, as they move from Miami, back to our homeland of Trinidad, and I hope that God will make it easy for them, and let them find happiness and comfort in being around loved ones again.
