Today is the day! After nearly a year of either complete separation or intermittent cohabitation, today June 25, 2009 Mrs. Hobbit arrives at our new hobbit hole and the hobbit’s will be whole again for the foreseeable future. For those of you who have never been forcibly separated from someone you love for an extended period of time, you need to read my blog on empathy! But for any of you that have, you know how special this day is. This is the day when I no longer have to say goodbye knowing that it will be between 3 weeks and 6 months before I get to say hello again. This is the night when I can go to sleep NOT HOLDING my pillow pretending…This is the day when the kids learn that both authority figures are back on the job and straightening up would be a very smart thing to do right about now!
Then there are the rest of the benefits. communication is face to face, not e-mail, not blogs, not texting, not cell phone but real honest-to-God, look her in the eyes and know what she’s thinking communication. To go out to a restaurant and not have to text and ask her what she’s having just because I want to know…There are so many things about this day that are special to me and I just want to the world to know that I love my wife and I could not be happier than to tell you all that this day will make the Top 10 list of days in my life because today, I don’t have to say goodbye again.
and “Keep in touch”
Awesome!
So glad for all of you!
Congrats!!!
