Stories of grace for life's unexpected turns
Day 5. The days seem longer while we’re apart. Without him, I feel like I have less to look forward to. Most days, when we’re all in the same state, no matter what happens, I still have the hope of seeing my husband and spending time with him at the end of the day. Even if we’re just watching TV together, much of what gets me through the day is this expectation of seeing him at the end of the day.
It’s like my reward at the end of the day. And I’m a little lost without it.
Day 4. So, this post is a day late because it was my turn to be sick yesterday, and I was out of commission most of the day into the night. Still not 100%. Hoping it passes soon so we can get on with enjoying our time with family. Puking and lying around on the couch aren’t necessarily my idea of quality time.
Needless to say, I’ve been on the phone to my husband three or four times a day to give him health updates. He told someone yesterday that he wished there was technology to allow you to reach through the computer and give comforting touches. He said this in reference to our daughter, I’m sure, but I could definitely have used one of those yesterday.
Phone and Skype just aren’t the same, but they are better than nothing.
Looking forward to a long embrace.
