It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. — Joyce Maynard

…I miss him. Dave went back to South Africa three weeks ago today. I miss his smell, how my head rests perfectly on his chest, his partnership, his I love you’s, his amazing mind, his soft kiss, and those brown eyes. I miss every morsel of him.

Now I can fill in my own blank… that distance makes the heart:

ache

contemplate

grow

see clearly

appreciate the little things

more transparent

feel lonely

love fiercely.

count the days…9 until I’m back in his arms
