2 days later.......
"Gracie behave"
"Of course" her smile makes the clouds go away. My baby ran to the play ground set.
"So there's this program for wrestlers in Washington DC"
"Oh?"
"Dad told me he'll pay for my room and board.. It's a good place. They have a good system"
"You obviously want to go"
"Yeah. I do." He seemed to be sad talking about this. The way he brought up the conversation I know he wants to go. Our close relationship makes it hard for him. We've never been apart.
I smile setting his stomach at ease "Go. Have the best experience you can" he smiles. Again the dark clouds go away.
"I leave next week"
A part of me crumpled on the inside. My baby😢
"You've know for atlesst a month then"
"To be honest yeah... I didn't know how to tell you"
"Well as long as ur happy with your decision I'm happy" he hugged me and I hugged him tighter.
"Come play with me brother!" Gracie calls out. We both go to play with her.
