I just cannot believe that Jake is now 19! Woah, time goes by so fast. I sure have missed him this past week and having him around at these house. The others wasted no time in switching rooms around😂. Ava went into Jake’s, Eli into Ava’s and Brad went back upstairs into Eli’s. Plus, Brad staked possession of the tv from the weight room to make room for my bike and trainer
We decided as a family to come to St George and see Jake for his birthday. I’m so glad we were all able to go. We arrived and went out to lunch together at Chuck-a-Rama. I was surprised that’s where Jake wanted to go. We let him decide and that’s what he actually picked. We then went back to the hotel and swam for a while as a family. I think that’s the first time in years that we all went to a pool together. Woah! We went to the Pizza Factory for dinner. Nichole had tummy troubles so she stayed behind
Again, it was hard for me to say goodbye to my Jake. I was getting all choked up and that gut wrenching feeling at the bottom of my gut when it was time to bid adieu. I know he’s going to be ok, but it just tears me up thinking he won’t really need me anymore or that I won’t have much of a relationship anymore. It’s too bad that as a dad you just can’t be the best friend and the hangout buddy. Why does the dad have to be just a responsible person? I want to be a part of my kid’s lives, not just a provider or caretaker. I’m sad he’s moving on. I love all my kids. I just want to hang out with them and be a part of their lives and things they do
