I can't sleep tonight.
Someone told me to call if I couldn't sleep... but it wouldn't be right.
There's a lot in my head these days... but a couple things weigh heavier then most. My daughter is moving out of my home... She is ten years old (well, almost, only a few more days) and shes moving to live with her father an hour away from me. Its so hard to let her go, but its the right thing to do. Her brother, my eight year old son, has some special needs. He doesn't always understand what hes doing, or have the ability to stop himself from doing things... and now, hes becoming more aggressive. He's playing when it happens... having fun, or trying to get her attention, but he can hurt her... He never means to, and I don't blame him... but it's not fair of me to keep her here either. Not when her father can take her, and she wont have to worry about that happening.
I don't know how any mother can make a choice to send their child away without tears... Its taken a while for mine to come but they are certainly flowing tonight. I know I will get to see her often and I know she will be safe and happy, but I will miss my little girl. I wish she didn't have to go.
