Today has been rough for Mom and me. I think that we both don't want to part ways this evening, but know that it is important. We had made plans to meet Dad in Tappahannock so he didn't have to drive the full way here, yet, Mom called him crying early to say she needed to be home sooner.
Together, we have been crying a lot today. It started when Mom helped Meade get her helmet off after taking Gregory to the bus stop and her neck got pinched. Meade started crying so Mom followed suit. Neither of us could get it together. There was no fault by anyone, but we were just starting to feel the intensity of the last two weeks and the fact that we haven't even begun to process anything.
Of course, Dad didn't realize the need to get here ASAP, but instead took his time and got here early afternoon. Poor mom was struggling the entire morning. We got through Meade's Zoom calls just barely and continued to wait.
It is good we are expressing our emotions, for sure. I think the weekend away from each other will be good for both of us. She and Dad need time together. I need time with Jacob. I am looking forward to when she comes back Sunday, though.
