The small moments hit hard
I got a text from my 12 year old daughter just now asking if she and my son had been added to the gym membership so they could use the pool. I told her I would get them added before the summer started and she said they wanted to be added sooner so they could use it on Monday for Memorial Day. They are with their mom on Mondays. The 3 of them get to go to the pool and have a good time as a family while I am on my own figuring out how to entertain myself for a day with the office closed for the holiday. A pool day sounds like a great family activity, but that's not possible anymore.
Last weekend I took the kids to a minor league baseball game and they had a great time. I kept thinking to myself it would have been nice to do as a family. Not possible anymore...
It's the small moments they don't talk about that sometimes hit you the hardest.
