Missing Mike

mike has been busy lately.

really busy.

work and school

school and work

and we've been missing him something fierce.

 i've been going through old pictures a lot lately

and they remind me

not of this busy season

but of our best memories

quiet days

they remind me of what a gift my husband is

 it's been a long week

the kids are asking constantly

about him

when I write that he's been busy,

that would be an understatement

 he does it for us

work

and he does it for his family

he's selfless

the most selfless person I know

 and tonight

we get to see him

I can't wait

and that's the biggest understatement

come tonight

he's done with school for a few months

and we will have dinner together

seven nights a week

i can't wait for that 

 come tonight

we'll all get hugs and kisses

 man, i miss him

 and so do they

we're waiting for you Mike

my biggest blessing

my soul mate

my constant

i love you
