Something Is Missing

My wife is not here. She is at girls camp. only 3 more days till she's home. The kids miss her so much already. Last night Gunnar woke up as usual. I put him in bed with me as usual. But he wouldn't lay down in Robyn's spot. He was saving it for he I think. Bear woke up and says Where Mommy ? Savannah missed her last night at bed time. Gracie just tried to be understanding, but still asked who is going to give us hugs and kisses at bedtime.

I miss her the most I think. This will be the longest time she has been away. I hate to be away from her. When I have left for business or for church stuff, I always wanted to get out of it. Looked for a way not to go. This time it's different, she is the one who is gone , and I am home with the kids. It has been interesting, no matter how hard I try, I can never be what she is to them. A mother , a nurturer and a teacher. I am grateful for my wife. I am grateful that she has built a home for me and my children. But I still miss my Eternal Sweetheart.
