Small win today
So my 8yo called me yesterday. Just out of nowhere. Said he missed our Saturday morning pancakes and could we do them next weekend.
I’m trying not to read too much into it but… it’s the first time he’s initiated contact in 4 months. Since this whole mess started.
My lawyer said don’t get too excited yet, document the call, keep expectations realistic. I get it. But damn it felt good to hear his little voice asking for something normal. Something that was just ours.
Made pancakes for myself this morning just because. Probably sounds stupid but I needed to remember what it felt like to flip them the way he likes - slightly burnt around the edges.
Not getting ahead of myself here. One phone call doesn’t fix everything. But it’s something right? First time in months I’m not checking my phone every 5 minutes hoping.
Taking it one pancake at a time I guess.
