Tears
So it had to happen sooner rather than later, right?
I was dropping Cian off to school this morning (his first full week of school) and as I left he got upset.
Now, not the melt down, angry, frustrated upset, but more of a gentle, shy, "please don't leave" breakdown. He was embarassed to be in the classroom with his new friends and getting upset but he just couldn't stop the tears welling up.
He whispered and sniffled and cried. "I want you to stay..."
Broke my heart as I left the room.
I knew this was going to happen -- I just didn't fully realize it'd be this heart wrenching.

that is just so sad and touching. but i do think of the upside, your leaving full time work probably made that moment come to fruition. all of the time you two spent together and as a family over the summer has truly had it's impact. good for you ronan....you are being a great dad!
