I began saying goodbye to Kai this weekend. Saturday we spent the day together, guy time, up at a retreat center near the foothills. It was such a beautiful day! Such a contrast to how my heart feels.

When I was in high school I remember thinking to myself, “Am I going to make it through?” Some days it felt like high school would kill me (humorous in retrospect). As we approach letting Kai go to his new family, I can’t really comprehend it. I’m afraid the pain will overtake me. What will be left of me after he’s gone?
