Robert's Gone

And I'm sad. Very, very sad.

I know I shouldn't be; we are still happily married, I'm going to see him again in a month and we'll be together come July, which really isn't all that far away.

But...

His side of the closet is empty.

His truck is missing from our driveway.

His dirty socks and wet towels aren't on the floor.

His laugh isn't in this house.

I miss him terribly and it's hasn't even been 12 hours since he left.

I was hoping I wouldn't be this sad.

But I am.

I am sorry for your sadness. The time will fly by, I promise. The girls and I made a countdown calendar to keep track of when Greg will be home next. It is a nice visual for the kids.; January 23, 2009 at 11:59 AM
M said...: Z, Laura, Shelby - Thank you!!! I will have to start the countdown thing (not to mention how much that would help Lulu with the concept of time and days and weeks and months).

I'm feeling quite a bit better today - didn't even cry when he called me from Bellingham this afternoon. No wails of, "I love you. I miss you." Progress to be sure.

Shelby - I like your new picture.; January 23, 2009 at 5:09 PM
