This will be short, this will be brief. I love, in this case, I love my son with all my heart and due to our short and infrequent contact, I have been worried that he will come to love me less. That thought had been dragging me down and weighing heavily on my heart. But yesterday, I insisted that I love him, he loves me, and we were going to have an amazing visit. I said it, I hoped for it, I even believed it but I was still a little scared I would be disappointed.

I was not!

It was an absolutely amazing visit. He was loving, he was sweet, he was playful and my heart burst with joy at this interaction. The thing I had feared the most was clearly just that, an unnecessary worry! Because he does love me, I do love him, and damn it, we did have an amazing visit. I’m beyond happy!
