I will post later about the awesome Valentine's gift I received.
Right now, I am missing something...
Well, someone.
I have not heard from Nate in over a week. It is hardest when he is underway, and I always sit and wonder if I did something for him to be upset. It always turns out he was not allowed to use the Internet due to a security issue, or being underway. It does not make it easier to know. My heart always beats out the knowledge in my head. I do not often talk about how sad I can feel with my boy so far from home. It is easier to not think about it.
The other day, we got a phone call from Ruth's school. It was the guidance counselor saying that Ruth had been to see her. She had been crying and missing Nate. They drew a picture and it seemed to help a bit. I asked Ruth what made her miss Nate so much today. Her response, "I miss Nate everyday. Usually, I can keep it in, but I don't know hwy I couldn't today."
In our house, we all miss our sailor. Most days, we can sweep the feeling to the side. But, there are the other days when it needs to be said.
Today is one of them.
