As most of the world knows my daughter visits us during the summer which is consequently my favorite time of the year. This year however my daughter will be here and my husband will not. His work is taking him far away for the summer and I am heartbroken. I think that I have figured out that being a stay at home mom was definitely what my family needed though. I could not imagine how my kids or husband would have handled this on their own.
It is now my full-time job to consul and encourage which won't change until he comes back home. I will take my son to sports practices, play video games and read dragon tales. I will work out and clean and stay busy and when my daughter gets here and my husband leaves I will write, take pictures, and miss my husband terribly all the while helping my kids to have the happy summer they need and deserve.
I went to a meeting today all about the struggles families have when they have to be long distance and I realized that we will all be okay because we have done it already. We spend six months out of the year on the phone with my daughter and we still love our fractured little family just as much. I am so blessed to have a husband who works so hard to provide for us and children who can light up even the darkest day.
