“Does it line up with the person I want to be in my kids life?”

Havilah Cunnington:

Today I said no to something I really wanted to do. Like one of those things I’d waited for for a really long time & when I took the call my heart got all excited. Yeah, it’s one of those things. ⠀

I jumped off the phone to tell Ben my exciting news, but even as the words left my mouth, I realized it wasn’t going to work. You see, the kids start school this week & I wanted to be there. Could I have made it work? Absolutely. Does it line up with the person I want to be in my kids life? No. So, as quickly as the excitement came so did my sadness.⠀
