My wife had an amazing opportunity to do something uber-fun with our two oldest daughters this evening… I’m not going to spoil her chance to share it with you, so you will have to wait on the details. But, the point is that she is not home tonight. It is just me and “the littles” (Beeber and Disney). And, boy, do I miss her!
I miss the kids too, but it is different. The late-nights are our exclusive time together where we get to wind down from the day and just enjoy being together. It is my favorite part of the day! Does that make me a bad daddy?
Anyhow, her not being here tonight just leaves me feeling so empty and lonely. I’ve tried a bunch of things to fill the void — playing football, doing chores, watching TV, working — and, finally… BLOGGING! And, you know if I am BLOGGING something must really be up!!
“The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone’ ” Genesis 2:18
I have so much respect and admiration for my friend John (who must just find this post pathetic). His strength continues to be an inspiration for me throughout much of my life. I did get to share dinner with him which was just awesome! But still, I miss Lisa dearly!
I find myself doodling little hearts with “Lisa” in them and “I love Lisa” everywhere… You know, like a 8th grade girl with a crush would do — eech! Is this normal? What is wrong with me!?
Ok… I am going to try and get to bed before I further embarrass myself.

I feel for you my friend. May your marriage never loose that longing. It is a blessing that you have that.
I know that if your places were reversed your wife would feel exactly the same! In fact, I recall a time when you two were apart for a night or two that she was beside herself. That is how remarkable your relationship is! So… no there is nothing at all wrong and you are an AWESOME daddy!
I had a GREAT time, but I was thinking of you the entire time… every minute, it seemed, which proves how much I missed you (and the littles, a little bit, hehe) since otherwise it would have been one of the funnest things I’ve ever done. The only thing missing was you, and you were REALLY missed. I had fun, but how I wish we could have shared it together! Thanks for volunteering to get left behind to take care of the other kids – your support is amazing! And Jamiahsh is right… those other rare times I had to be without you, I was completely and utterly miserable!! I’m glad you tried to amuse yourself, and I bet the others were happy to see you blogging! I love you.
