he's back. unashamedly outlining the beauty and the foundations of our family. packing us with boundless love. and ending the full-time domesticity of my life.
like war heroes they return. you've done well -- and he won't ever know what it was like. and, as you get older, it won't be so important that he understand.
Once, when K was gone for over a month, mon Oncle, who knew all too well, said to me: this will be that time in your lives when he travels a lot. it will not always be so, it's just that this is what it needs to be now.
Hi, Irene! This picture made me teary- eyed. Just look at the three of them! I was also imagining the four of you in the picture and it made me teary-eyed the more. Glad your hubby is back after 3 weeks. I envy your strength to have such managed a household of two toddlers. How do you do it? I only have one, and yet there are times that make me wish my mom's here to save me!
Oh what relief--and that photo brought back this vivid memory for me of greeting my dad at the airport after he'd been gone on a long trip. He had that 'other place' smell of busy airports and public transportation, but being pressed up agains the wool of his coat in a hug was being in the best place on earth. It looks like Sean & Will would know just what I mean.
Hopefully you're not reading your blog too much right now. Enjoy your time together and stock up on the cuddles so you can reach down deep for them again the next time he's away.
Glad to hear that you are all together:) It is such a strange feeling that we are miles away but i track your life, feel happy for you and want you to be happy. I guess it is somehow supporting myself also. Yours is the first link i inserted in my own blog and you are the one who inspired me to start my diary which relieves me so much. Thank you.

Have a great week!
