Missing daddy

We are all missing daddy right now. This should be easy for me, because since the day I met him, he has always had to travel for his work. He has spent weeks at a time in Australia and the UK. He has been to Singapore, Hong Kong, Finland, France and Switzerland. I am sure I have not even listed all the places he has been. He has traveled all over the US. However, in the last year and a half, his company had all but eliminated travel. He has only had a few short trips to New York in that time. I got used to him being home and as a result of that, it is much harder now to be separated. I have been suffering from a pinched nerve, from stress I am sure. This morning, I woke up with a numb arm again (pinched nerve is back!). I came home from taking the kids to school, logged into my computer and checked a few of the blogs I read regularly and realized my life is not so bad. (see my blog titled Perspective and you will know what I am talking about). And yes, again, it puts my issues in perspective, and I suddenly feel better. Even though we are separated right now, our family will all be together again in March when we move. I am fortunate enough to be married to my best friend and a man I love so much. He is such a good daddy to our girls. I love watching him with the girls, tickling them or laughing with them. They also miss him so much right now. Gerbie picks my phone up randomly and says into it–mish you daddy. And Bean has been emotional and needy, sure signs that she is missing him. We will all be together soon, this stressful time will pass, and everything will work out ok. We will get the house ready for sale, get things into storage and figure out what we need to take. I will figure out how to navigate a new country and our family will try to come and visit. When I am feeling overwhelmed, I need to read my blog on Perspective again and be thankful for my blessings.
