The kids have been dropped off and we are on our way to battle insane traffic (for Ohio anyway) on our way to The Cleveland Clinic. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.
It's going to be a really, really busy day. The boys will be with my Mom for the day, while Gavin and I make our way to the Cleveland Clinic. This appointment is the first of its kind for Gavin and so I'm really nervous. We will be at The Cole Eye Institute for most of the day. We will be with a genetic counselor for awhile before Gavin undergoes some new tests to help determine the cause of some of his health issues. What they believe he has is something called Jalili syndrome and of course it goes without saying, that this is extremely rare. Gavin never does anything halfway. lol/sigh We will likely arrive home just in time for the long overdue family therapy session at Dr.…
The boys and I are going to my parents for dinner tonight. It's sort of a birthday thing for me. I'm actually pretty okay with that. 😀 I have a shit ton of things on my mind and I'm still stressed out but I'm in a really decent place today. I'm feeling like things are going to be okay, at least in the short term. The kids have been great and any of the problems that did arise, were easily dealt with. So yeah, my birthday hasn't been the emotional black hole ai was afraid it was going to be. 😀
Today's been pretty okay so far. The boys have way too much energy but everyone is getting along just fine. That's a largely positive thing. We have zero plans for today and I'm okay with that because frankly, I'm pretty tired. I slept kinda strange last night and woke up feeling like I hadn't really slept at all. It's fair to say that I have a lot on my mind and I'm preoccupied with Gavin's trip to the Cleveland Clinic in the morning. Either way, I'm going to make the best of today. I want to start the first day of my 37th year on the right foot. 😀
When things get tough emotionally and/or physically, it's easy to want to give up but it's so important that you don't. Today I turn 37 years old and will be doing so without my wife being by my side for the first time in almost 15 years. That's a bitter pill to swallow, at least for me it is. Yesterday we celebrated the August birthdays in my family with a cookout at my parents house. Truthfully, I didn't really want to go because I knew I wouldn't be in the mood to be around people but the kids weren't going to pay a price for my mood so we went. It was a rough start and I avoided contact with everyone I could. Eventually though, things got a little easier…

I'm so not in a place to be around people right now. I tried but it's just not working out for me. Everything is setting me off because I'm so incredibly sensitive at the moment. People don't always realize how painful the end of a marriage can be for a husband who's heartbroken. I removed myself for a bit to write because I was seriously going to explode. Not holding out much hope right now of salvaging the day. Not sure if I'm going to make it the entire time... 💔
It's been a really good morning so far. Okay, actually I meant afternoon.. 😜 Anyway, the boys and I will be off to my parents house for an August birthday's celebration. If you didn't already know, my birthday is in August and more specifically tomorrow. The weathers beautiful out and the temperatures just right. While this is going to be difficult for me on an emotional level, I'm damn sure going to make the best of it. While life has taken some unexpected turns of late, it hasn't stopped altogether and I need to move forward. 😀
