I missed you last night. I did everything I could think of to keep my mind occupied and I still found a way to feel incredibly lonely without you. I also missed your manly protection. I know that sounds silly, and I do consider myself pretty dang tough but I missed having you there to fight off any intruding bad guys. (And there is my imagination at work.) I like it that you are big and tough. No, I love it that you're big and tough. With or without a new baby, I always sleep so much better when you are home.
However, it is nice to remember what it's like to miss you. I would rather have you here sitting on the couch watching endless episodes of Top Gear or countless hours of sports while leaving your shoes all over the house and falling asleep at 9pm than have you far away.
Dylan has been asking every five minutes how much longer until you get home. I see now why people try not to travel when their kids are older because the older Dylan gets the more he notices and it bothers him that you are gone. He really needs you. We all miss you. You have a huge presence in our home and it's not just your big personality. We miss your hugs and kisses and laughter.
Know that we think of you all the time. We pray for your safety in every way and we count the minutes until we see you again.
I love you Babe!
