My Charlie was Harry Potter for Halloween. I haven’t seen a picture yet of him in costume, but I am dying too. I’m sure it will be too cute. I can only imagine how cute he must be in the little glasses and cape. I spoke to him and his Mom on the day before Halloween and he was going to be going to a near by church Harvest Festival on Halloween (in lieu of trick or treating) and was excited about that.


I have really been missing Charlie a lot more than I typically do lately. Of course, he’s s always on my mind and I am always thinking of him, but I’ve just been missing him especially more than usual. Well ever since my last two visits actually or at least that’s the only thing that I can pin point it to.


Our last two visits, which were the birthday visit and then my overnight visit and the field trip to the Apple Orchard, were just so amazing. I’m still thinking of those memories on a daily basis to get me through and I’m just longing and aching to see him again soon. I think having those two visits so close together (only a week separated the two of them) kind of messed me up though. I think if they had been a little more spaced out it might have been a tad easier, but I couldn’t do much about it as that’s just how the dates of Charlie’s birthday and the field trip fell.

Sometimes the wait between visits seems like an eternity! It can be very hard and I’m not a very patient person. When Charlie was a baby it was easier to schedule impromptu visits just because I needed/wanted to see him but now with him being older, in school, me living a bit further a part (when he was a baby we lived in the same town) it makes it trickier. O to compensate in my heart for all of that, I’ve been sending him more cards than usual and I have already started buying him little things for Christmas.

In my next post, I’ll share some ways to get through the wait between visits.
