this thing really made me cry... gosh, how hard it has to be to know you're not coming back, that when you packed that infamous bag and walked out that infamous door, there's no turning back...
Oh my goodness, you have me crying right now! This was brilliantly written! And, though it was sad, I absolutely adored it! Seriously, it was fantastic!
He never wanted to cause a problem, he just wanted them to be happy. oh my gosh... :/
As much as Cate liked to believe Gavin was fast asleep, he always waited up for Andrew. ohhh <3 <3 <3
He never planned fort things to go this way and he knew his baby boy was going to suffer.
I wish you heartache that leaves you more of a man. okay.. i don't know what makes me want to cry more.. the sentence of the lyrics.. holy shit.. i don't want gavin to suffer
A missed Thanksgiving, missing his preschool graduation, teacher conferences, a missed birthday… okay.. that is pretty sad..
“Mom said you’re going to be gone again. You just got home, Dad.” He spoke quietly as Adam tucked the small comforter around his body. oh my gosh.. oh my gosh.. heart is cracking.. breaking.. done.
[i“I know you don’t want things to change, but sometimes change can be good.” Andrew lied. In this case, change wasn’t good, change was life ruining. i love this.. i absolutely love this line.. wow. that definitely hits the emotions on the head.
“Don’t go, Dad.” Gavin insisted, sitting up, “you can’t go, you just got home.” Gavin begged, tugging on Andrew’s hand. He never wanted this for Gavin ... oh no... i am really going to cry... you are making me cry kara!
“All Mom wants is for you to be happy, Gav, never blame this on Mom.” Andrew replied quickly. He needed at least one of his parents to be strong for him, and it sure as hell wasn’t going to be him. “Be good, okay? Pick up your toys, do your homework.” Andrew paused, knowing that he couldn’t keep from crying anymore. “You’re going to be the man of the house now, you need to take care of Mama now, okay?” *BAWLS*
“This is one of those things? Those things I don’t get to know until I’m ten?” He asked, his long lashes still slick with tears. oh my gosh.. the sweet innocence of a child..
“Dad?” Gavin asked quietly. “This is like every time you leave, right? You’re going to be back soon, right? Right Dad?” He prodded from his bed, eyes heavy with sleep and sadness. oh baby boy.. oh god. i think this killed me.. the final blow..
OHMYGOD.. I AM SOBBING.. KARA! THIS WAS SO SO SO SO SO SO SAD but it was so increbily well written.. idk if this is a stretch.. actually i don't think it is.. you've written a lot.. but i think this is in the top 5.. like legit.. this was amazing. i am so fricken sad. maybe it's because i get it.. idk.. but that was amazing.. sooooooo good. definitely a tear jerker... :( <3333333333333 (i swear you better win.)
