Clicking My Heels!

It's funny what you think about when you actually have time to think.  For those on my Facebook who saw the thanks I gave my husband on Father's Day for always "standing by his son's side", it will give you some idea about why Bo has been missing his father of late.  They are many of the same reasons why I find myself missing him of late too. In addition to the obvious, the fact that he can cook like no one else I know, I miss his sense of humor, which is almost on par with his sons. He is also the calm in the middle of the storm; the one who usually redirects me when my thoughts turn more melancholy than they should. I miss his voice of reason when it comes to our son. His laidback attitude to parenting complements my more rigid parenting style. Bo benefits from both.  I miss his ability to "unworry" the worry in my mind.  I miss my gym partner.  The one who motivates me to get my butt to the gym when I want to do nothing but sit on the couch. It's probably the reason why I haven't stepped foot in a gym since I got here   I miss his ability to "go with the flow", which is what he did regarding this trip. Knowing how important this trip was to his son, he willingly sacrificed a few things along the way to make sure that it happened.  So at the half way point of this trip, I am reminded just how important my family continues to be to me. Yes, it's most definitely funny what you think about when you actually have time to think.
