At the hospital they show you the chart of faces and tell you to rate your pain 1-10. For the past few nights my emotional pain has been holding tolerably between 5-7. Tonight, it's a 10. Tomorrow will be the first day of preschool. Last year Gracie was the first there so I could hurry back up to school. Then I was able to leave at lunch to pick her up. I loved how her backpack would swing side-to-side (nearly knocking her down) as she would run to greet me. It wasn't often I could take her or pick up but I cherished the times I could...especially her last 4 weeks while I was on maternity leave. I have no words to express how sad I am tonight. How I wish I could post updated pictures tomorrow of her first day of preschool. Her hair a little longer, me a little heavier, the kids (including Vi) a little older. My pain is a 10.
