The Favour July 23, 2008

Littleman asked me a very big favour the other day. (and yes, he said favour)
He wants a little brother or sister.
As I explained that I just couldn’t do that right now, )he understands that it takes 2 …well, sometimes it takes 2 
), he aked if I’d consider his ‘dad’. I very clearly had to say no, that wasn’t an option.
“Why?” …was his next question.
We sat down and I explained, very carefully, that once upon a time, his dad and I loved each other enough to create such a wonderful little boy. But we just don’t love each other like that anymore, and it takes that love to make a person.
“Do you still love him at all?”…that dreaded next question.
I could not lie…I just couldn’t! (heck, I don’t even ‘like’ the person he is now) ”No…I don’t love him and he doesn’t love me…BUT…I LOVE that we made you, so there will always be a teeny, tiny part of my heart for him.”
Ok, he gets that, he understands, all is well…next question….
” Can you find me a better dad soon…and THEN make me a brother or sister?”
“I’m working on it kid”…LOL
