1st day @ daycare (16 months & 2 wks)

As I walked away from my crying child, my heart slowly fell into pieces. His cries echoed and lingered in my head. The sight of Ezekiel’s tears gushing out and falling down his face rotated while I worked. Thoughts of guilt and sadness ran through me. The internal struggle that I have as a “career mom” continued and my overzealous and eager personality to do EVERYTHING has me thinking..thinking...
I yearned to see Ezekiel. 
Time came to pick him up. I couldn’t wait any longer to see his face, his smile, his hands, his cheeks, his thighs, HIM.
I walked into the classroom and there he was playing by himself near the exit sign. I called his name “Ezekiel” –He jumped and ran towards me, while crying he hugged and put his little head on my shoulder. The warmth of his body once again healed me.

We successfully finished and conquered the '1st day'.
