The imagining of his time in the city with the away time, but the missing of you and the family.

I took the time to be on my own, to hang out with my friends.<br /><br />Since we became parents, I feel his absence. Small things like him tucking the boy into bed, greeting us when he comes home from work... sigh.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174981423633745590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-29368979746618938312012-01-10T20:55:06.860-05:002012-01-10T20:55:06.860-05:00I hate when my husband has to leave for a while. ...I hate when my husband has to leave for a while. Thankfully, he doesn't have to do it for work. But still, it's hard. I guess that's how you know it's real love.

My husband and I don't have to travel separately except on extremely rare occasions, but we get all worked up and cry any time it happens, after 17 years together :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-20638806889858873882012-01-10T10:08:42.360-05:002012-01-10T10:08:42.360-05:00This is beautiful!

I love how you write it so descriptively, almost makes me feel like I was there watching the good bye :)Andrea @ The Penny-Roach'shttp://www.pennyroach.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-33040206562636166242012-01-10T09:37:07.712-05:002012-01-10T09:37:07.712-05:00Ok, loved how you used "corked" as a ver...Ok, loved how you used "corked" as a verb there. (-: Just had to get that out.<br />The other thing is: when I read your post about your husband leaving and how much it matters to you I feel so guilty, oh so very guilty, because honestly mine travels so much we hardly even say good bye anymore. That's not really true but I've totally over-adapted and so have the girls. On his last biz trip - mid-way through it, I think he'd been gone for 3 days - Ella said, "Hey, where is Daddy?" ----> eeeks! She didn't know he was gone. <br />I think this is how we've adapted.<br />He's here a lot more lately but we've crossed some weird line where when one of us goes it's just a total non-event probably because we've had so many departures.<br />Anyway - reading this really touched me. Scared me a little too. I better up my good byes now!

DC! I can't compete with that, and I know he must enjoy going. And I'm always a little jealous of the fine dining and shopping but mostly, just grateful that I get to stay home -- and hey, stretching out in that big bed is soemtimes nice :) I hope this week goes by quckly for you so you can have your tall and handsome home again.Brandy @ Momwichhttp://www.momwich.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-92151093695766598922012-01-10T09:21:23.685-05:002012-01-10T09:21:23.685-05:00@Ellen(Mum)- you're welcome.

I think he's trying to be loyal :) because the opportunity to sleep uninterrupted for eight hours??? It just sounds so good. Yay for sweet husbands!
