Random post title. Sorry.
Told the kids today. It was difficult, as the day my parents broke the same news to me is still a strong memory. My son is about the same age I was. He started off ok, questions about logistics (when am I going to your house?). But slowly the emotions took hold. He was angry. He cried. It was uncomfortably similar to my reaction nearly 30 years ago.
But he got better. And the early signs are that he's going to be ok. We were able to laugh riotously at the SNL giraffe sketch. I'm so worried for him - he can be a sensitive, emotional kid. But he might be alright. My daughter was unfazed, as expected. She's too young to get it.
I'm moving in two weeks, on Valentine's Day. I always hated that bullshit consumerist fake holiday.
