Beautiful little boy. My tender, wonderful, talented, amazing, breathtaking, sweet, kind, silly, smart, cheerful, challenging, brave, shy, bright, brilliant, beautiful, boundless, loving, open, giving, creative, inventive, insightful, overpowering, swift, skillful, splendid, and heart stoppingly handsome little man. The last 28 hours have been more than I thought I could bear. Our tears, kisses, and hugs on the curb, following a night of robots, funny voices, stories, dances, races, drawings, cartoons, baths, combing, laughing, whispering, singing, and sleeping were only a reminder to me of our permanent connection.
I will always be your father. I will always be devoted to your growth more than any other human being in the world. You are a reflection of me, a piece of my soul, a firefly in every sky, and all of the stars within it. I love you, and I so look forward to you. Nothing will ever take that away from us. Nothing will ever be in our way. I am so proud of you, I admire you, I adore you. You, my son, my delightful reflection of God.
May Tara’s love, and Ganesh’s fires light your path, and love you completely on your new adventure. And I’ll see you in December, if not quite a bit before.
Until then my love… until then.

Dear heart.
I am solidly here in support.
May you be rich with blessings as you go through this difficult transition. May your journeys forward be bountiful and filled with love and light. May it be like a short blink of an eye between now and the limitless joy of your reunion.
Peace to both of you. Spirit knows no boundaries of time/space, but there’s still that tangible loss. Sympathies for the shakeup. You’re wired with heart strings and video cams though…and an amazing Dad!
I am crushed by this-so very sorry.
*wipes tears from under her eyes*
you are so brave. i am only a phone call away if ever you need me…come stay, come play, come rest, come hide, come laugh, come share, come visit!
i love you.
Fatherhood is forever.
HOw very very sad. Even though it rips me apart, I love reading about your deep love for your son. Your passion for fatherhood is probably my favorite thing about you. So few parents truly appreciate their children. Reading these heartwrenching experiences always makes me snuggle my kiddo up and hold her tight. I don’t know how I would live without her. I hope the time passes very quickly until you can be together again. Much much love and strength to you, Sunshine.
