missing them

I’m sitting in my hotel room, relaxing, watching TV, doing some work. I’m completely uninterrupted except by the call of nature, and pausing to listen to the rain outside. Yeah, there was a tornado warning about 4 miles from my hotel, enough that they called all the rooms so we would all go to the lobby where it was ‘safer’. Yeah, okay.

I’m getting to relax, read, watch TV, play a game, watch baseball on my computer….And I have never missed them more than I do right now. This is why I started this blog in the first place – to put down my thoughts and feelings and have a place to take a look at what is important in my life right now. I mis my son’s laugh, I miss my daughter’s smile and the way she gives me cheek kisses; I miss the smell of my wife’s hair and the way she calls me baby.

My class is over tomorrow and more than anything that I have learned in the class, I realized how much I have, and how lucky I am to be part of such an amazing family. So sleep tight guys, and I’ll see you in the morning.

  1. I wanted to share the haiku that Gillian wrote for you while you were gone:

    Sad, lonely, crying
    Georgia is so far away
    Daddy please come home

    We missed you as much as you miss us…
