The Single Life

My family went on vacation without me last week and I am temporarily living the single life again until they come home. It's overrated. I much prefer married life. I miss my wife and children tremendously! The week before they left, I had some project demands at work that unfortunately kept me from seeing much of my family that week. Now they're away and won't come back until next weekend and I miss them so much!

I miss my wife's soft touch and gentle reminders to let things go. I miss her telling me to relax, stop working, and enjoy myself. I miss her patience with me. I miss her love. I miss her presence.

I miss my childrens' noise and laughter. I miss wrestling with them and tickling them. I miss reading books with them, playing games with them, and laughing at their antics and jokes.

I'm keeping very busy and that has kept me from pining for them, but I do miss them. Thankfully I have some good friends that are keeping me company, inviting me over for meals, and keeping me from being too lonely. But I'll be just a little despondent until I have those five cute little people back in my home again. They are such an important part of my life. I can't imagine what I would do without them.

Come home soon, honey. I miss you.
