217 Marbles
Today I purchased a large canvas for the ceiling of my sons’ room then painted it the colors of the night sky (in lieu of painting the ceiling of our rented home). I found a kit of glow-in-the-dark stars and planets so when the paint was dry, me and my youngest son affixed the planets onto the canvas.
Then came the stars. We decided to go with constellations so we looked up the constellations of everyone in the family: Libra, Cancer, Leo, Pisces, and even Ex-man’s Aquarius (he is their Dad). We carefully arranged the stars so that they were in their proper formation and affixed the canvas to the ceiling. Then we arranged a spot light so that the stars could get “charged” before we turned the lights out.
My son was thrilled to have his whole family looking down on him, giving off light even in the dark. As we lay on the top of his bed, admiring our work, my son said, “We are all connected, forever.”
One of the most challenging things about the breakup is knowing that their hearts have been affected because Ex-man and I couldn’t get it right. What can I do to make this breakup easier on my kids?
