Just before bed. Tigger is lying down, toying with my hand.
- You know Mummy, I forgot to tell you. I really really like you. But you know I'm sad Daddy's not here.
Says his tiny voice in dark bedroom.
What can I reply to this? That Daddy had to go abroad to search for work 'cuz our own government was not able to provide a job here? That we should have stayed in London and never left?
- He'll be here soon baby. Just 3 more nights. Can you count to three?
- One, two, three
- See, it's not that long, right?
M just called that after all he will not be coming home this Saturday. He has to stay there for few more weeks. Maybe 4, maybe 6, he doesn't know yet. What should I tell Tigger now?
It's not easy, being left alone with a toddler. Trying to be both parents for him, working, giving him enough "together" time and having some "me" time at the same time writing my MA thesis and missing M like crazy.
I just hope I'm not failing him
