I spent four days in Washington DC last week. I was at a trade show. Sam was at home with 5 kids keeping them clothed, clean and fed. While I was on my “fun little vacation” as she puts it I only called her a few times. I was extremely busy and tired at the end of the day.
When I got home she asked “Did you miss me? I missed you.”
I said “no.
I didn’t miss you when I was on the plane looking down on the clouds remembering the clouds on our way to the Caribbean together.
I didn’t miss you during my sleepless nights while I hugged a pillow.
I didn’t miss you at all when I thought about each of our children and your hands helping them through their days.
I didn’t miss you at all when I saw a woman in the airport who looked like you and who had three kids with her.
I didn’t think about you whenever it was time for dinner and I could see you in my eyes mind with our kids at our dinner table in Idaho.
I never thought about what you really need in your life from me.
I never considered what to get you in the gift shop in the hotel.
I didn’t miss you when it was time to come home and the flight lasted forever.
I didn’t miss you, ever.”
Who am I to be so blessed to be married to you?
Jon I’m beginning to think you DID miss her
I love your blog posts. They’re consistently entertaining and inspiring. They make me stop and take notice of the world around me. Have a great birthday today.
Great blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any discussion
boards that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get comments from other experienced people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Appreciate it!
