@pilotmaria: The hardest part of a 4am report isn’t the alarm clock waking me up at 3am. It’s saying goodbye to my daughter the night before. I know she’ll be okay. I know she’s loved, cared for, and surrounded by people who adore her. But that doesn’t stop the little ache that comes from missing a bedtime, a cuddle, or a morning together. The guilt isn’t about where she is. It’s simply missing moments with someone who means everything to you. To any parents who co-parent, travel for work, work away from home, or miss special moments because of life commitments—how do you deal with the guilt? Or is it simply part of loving someone this much? 🫶 #coparents #singlemom #aviation #pilot
