This is Reese writing because my Pops, Kaz, went to be with my dad. I know they're together now and happy, but it sure was hard losing him and now not having him by my side. Now that running the household is solely on our shoulders, Sofia and I are finally truly grasping what all Pops did for us. It's a bit of a struggle, but we're making it. We've even applied to be foster parents and should be hearing back from the agency soon.
It's been a rough week. The day after Pops died, Sofia's dad died and the very next day her mom died too. The kids have been taking it pretty rough, but they seem to be doing better now. Obviously it hit Sofia the hardest. There were some rocky times with her parents, especially after Sofia got pregnant with Bret, but thankfully we all managed to patch things up and move on before it was too late.
Next week is full of birthdays! Monday is mine and Jaleesa's, Tuesdays is Bret's, and Wednesday is Sofia's. As much as I'm not ready to be an adultier adult, I'm even less ready for the kids to age up again. Especially since Jaleesa will be growing into a young woman and moving off to her own place and Bret will be growing into a teenager no longer wanting to play with toys with his ol' dad.
