They were wrong. What is good for me, good for us, good for her, good for him is to be together. To see the smiles we create, to feel the laughter that fills our home, to be surrounded by the love we share. In a detached world, what is good for us is to be together.
He comes home tonight. Late tonight.
It is amazing what you can learn when the other half of your heart is 1700 miles away. It is amazing how hard it really is. It is amazing how much space in your heart, mind, life, one soul can take up. It is amazing how lonely life can seem without them near you.
Some days were great. Wonderful adventures for me and my little. So much to see. So much to do. So much to take in. Some days, it took the force of a determined, morning loving, happy little girl to get me out from under the covers. To get me to face the day in all of it's summer glory.
But tonight, soon, our family will be back together. My life will start feeling not so turbulent, my mind will mellow. Our bond, strengthened by the challenge, our sadness weakened by his return. Our lives forever changed but still the same. He will be home.
Those covers won't call my name quite so loudly come sunrise.
I don't know why you hesitated to show this. It was awesome just like all your others. You should make a book of all of these with pictures to go along with them. <3
