It's still not over....

Back on July 23rd, 2007, I wrote that it would never be all over, and boy, was I right. Faith is now 2 and a half and we deal with some emotion from those decisions nearly every single day. Some days more than once a a day. Some days, the whole friggin' day.

Lately it's been more of the "whole friggin' day" days. Sarah has been exceptionally emotional with the Christmas season coming, due at least in part to the fact that the Smith's will not be home for Christmas this year. This is the year that they go up north to visit Jeff's family.

That, and she hasn't been visiting as much recently as she had been in the past. For whatever reason, she feels as though she's not as welcome as she once was at the Smiths' house. I'm sure there is something more to this whole thing, and thought that it might be a case of Susan not wanting to hurt any feelings and not enough communication.

So, tonight I got Susan on the phone. I told her what was going on on this end, and she explained a little more about what is going on on that end. Then she offered to talk to Sarah. Sarah took the phone and they talked for nearly a half hour. Sarah came back and said that she felt better and that they were going to talk more when the Smith's return home from vacation in a week.

I am now looking forward to a less emotional week ahead.
