I spent all day at Chris’ parents.
It’s both heart-mending and heart breaking to spend time with my son. He calls me Grandma because I have become a visitor in his life these past 4.5 months instead of a constant. He’s starting to get randomly quiet and sad when I see him. He’ll stop playing and come over and press his body against mine, burying his head into me.
I ask him what’s wrong and he says “nothing”.
