I just felt I had to share this with people who would understand (none of my friends have kids).
Due to a nasty ongoing legal battle with my ex I currently only get to see my kids once a week. Today I was able to pick them up from school for the first time since October, with a social worker who was there to observe.
My 6 year old daughter rushed out with an envelope containing 2 pokemon cards, and this beautiful portrait of me. I almost teared up on the spot.
I'll be framing it and putting it next to my bed. I've gone through alot since September (mental health, isolation, unemployment, homelessness), but knowing this is how my daughter sees me makes none of that matter!
