Not Wanting to Leave...

Hubbs returned from his monthly weekend visit to see the son.  I can tell every visit is better than the last, the son continues to grow up (he is turning 4 next month) and is more and more fun with every visit.  I can also tell Hubbs is a proud papa playing Wii sports games with the son and seeing how good the son is at playing baseball, and tennis.  It made his weekend.

They went to a monster truck rally, and a birthday party Friday night, it sounded like all in all they had a lot of fun and got to have some father/son bonding time.  While I miss not getting to go with Hubbs every month I think it is so good they have that special time together.  The son also gave Hubbs a present for peanut which had a little baby Einstein toy and a small girls' dress.  The son was pretty proud of his purchase and showed Hubbs how the toy works etc.  Hubbs said the son was super excited about it and was pretty cute about getting a gift for his sister. 

When Sunday at 6pm rolled around and it was time for the son to go back to his mom, he started to get upset and said he didn't want to leave.  When she came and got him, he started crying and according to PEG it got pretty bad.  PEG texted Hubbs and told him that the son was hysterical and wanted to stay with his daddy.  She asked if Hubbs wanted to keep him for another night since he wasn't leaving until Monday morning.  Hubbs replied and let her know of course he would take the son, after about 45 min after the original pick-up time she brought the son back to Hubbs.  She texted and let Hubbs know that her BF wanted to see the son (since he is a long distance realtionship) so she was taking the son to see him but then would bring him back over.

I know Hubbs was really excited to have the extra time with the son, and I know it meant a lot to him that PEG was willing to give him that time whatever her motivations were.  They don't get to spend a lot of time together, so having an extra night means a lot.

While it is difficult to think of the son getting so upset, and being so sad over leaving his dad it was good to know that he loves spending time with his dad, and I am glad PEG was able to see that.  

We will see what the future holds but I know the hard goodbye wasn't easy for Hubbs and added more guilt than he already has about the situation.
