As I write this, Raine has been sitting on his bus seat for some 5 hours already on the way home. He and lola will be arriving home around 2 am tomorrow.
Goodbye alone times, Mommy! Here comes Raine — the center of your world. 
He he.
But gosh…I miss him a lot. The past week he wasn’t here, I have been calling almost everyday. But it should do us both good I think. if we do this from time to time. My baby is not a baby anymore. He’s like a big man telling me about his day each time I called. That and he being all A-okay even if I wasn’t there!
Though he said one time that he missed me, I really doubt it because he was just too happy I wasn’t there and he was able to get away with too many things with just his lola. Ha ha ha.
I will always miss Raine so bad, wherever he goes AND he will always be my baby.
I couldn’t wait for this day to come. If you dig in my archives, I have always been waiting for the day that Raine goes on his own, a little separation in the day with each of our schedules. Finally it is here and I am not as relieved as I thought I would be. More like scared for a bit because he is growing up fast and as a parent, the more that I cannot be too careful. [One thing that will always keep me on my toes!]
But yeah…definitely just relieved that our worst years are over!
This just never ends right? I cannot just take off even if there are cheap flights at arm’s length. Once a mother, always a mother like I’ve been told.
