Missing My Son

[HarvestMoon]

I saw my son today. He's nine. Haven't seen him for a while and don't see him as often as I'd like. I sure do miss him. He's growing up and I don't have much input in his life. Kinda makes me feel like a failure for not being around. He seems happy but I just feel a bit empty...sorry, just wanted to express this. I love him to bits...

Hey there - don't be hard on yourself - things happen that makes our lives take different turnings to those that we expected.

Your son clearly has a caring dad who loves him so much. He will know this and it will carry him through life - to be loved is one of life's greatest gifts.

If you feel that you don't seem him as often as you would like and feel that he maybe missing out - why not send him notes or texts just to let him know that you are thinking of him and looking forward to the next time you see him?

Take care Harvest Moon.

Wow, thank you for your kind thoughts. It really means a lot to me. I feel very lonely most of the time and one of my good times is when I get to see my son but then of course I always feel bad when we part. He does seem happy but I just wish we could hang out together a bit more and I sense that he would like that too. Suzy-Sue said that things may change and, yes, perhaps they will. I look forward to that. Thank you all again.

Take care.
