Yesterday was the last full day I had with my family before I spend the next 4 weeks staying at mom's again. Dan took me out to a sushi lunch where we enjoyed each other's company, good sushi, beer and hot sake. It was pretty awesome. I'm glad we are spending some alone time together when we can cause the living situation sucks and we really dont know how long it will be this way.
The last 2 weeks with the family were pretty awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it...even when the kids were fighting. I need to make an effort to make it home in time to pick up the kids with Dan since I won't be seeing much of them for the next 4 weeks.
On our drive over to spend the night with mom, Hannah mentioned that she has few memories with her Lolo. One that sticks out was hiding under his chair and tickling his feet with the back scratcher. Hannah was born the same year my dad was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. She was 5 when he passed away. I'm just thankful that both Tyler and Hannah spent some time with my dad before he died. I was always worried growing up that my kids would never be able to meet my parents because they had me so late in life.
Here's to the 1st night of 28 at my mom's. This is the longest I'll be away from the family since I started staying here at the end of April.
