dear husband

dear husband,

you've been gone for 15 days. fifteen days. half of a month. that is a long time. you are coming home tonight! tonight. i can not wait.

i can not wait to feel your strong arms around me.
i can not wait for you to wrestle the baby into his jammies tonight.
i can not wait to go to mass as a family.
to be in the same time zone as you.
to let you take the boys to practices (you've only missed 18 of them).
to live life with you instead of talking to you through some hard plastic device.
but, i am most excited about laying in bed tonight with my head on your shoulder, while you do your old man puzzles and pretend you are listening to me ramble on about my day.

please hurry.
i love you.
forever.
c

p.s. i'm not that excited to see your sharp tooth.
