Daddy's Gone

As of Wednesday morning, April 2nd, Joey's Daddy left for the baseball season. We've had a few phone calls since then but haven't heard from him in the last few days. That's ok, since Joey isn't much of a talker on the phone. Joey hasn't asked for him which is good. He told me before Ben left that "Daddy is going away." It made it sound like Daddy was going to jail. The next day, when we passed his old apartment complex, Joey said "that's Daddy's house." Processing emotions can be difficult for him and it almost seems like that's a positive thing during this time.
