My Sweet Dear Son

I am so sorry. You have cried yourself to sleep twice, now. This is something that I never wanted any of my kids to have to do. Both times were like 3 minutes of crying, but still, to me, it's the principle. At this point when Mommy is gone from you it's natural for you to feel that I am really gone. Disappeared. But I am not. My heart breaks to hear you scream. Both times I've just not been able to get to you before you fell asleep. Today it was because your sister was bleeding and I was trying to bandage her and get back to you. In that time you had fallen asleep. It broke my heart. I am so sorry. Mommy will try to do better/faster/whatever so that you feel the comfort of my arms when you're upset.
