I wait for her car to drive up the driveway at night, but it doesn't. I listen for the door to open after she gets off work, but it doesn't. I look to see if my bed fills up with teenage girls on Friday nights, laughing and talking about the game... it doesn't.
Some days feel so quiet. Most days. The daily news of who dates whom and who called and who is coming over and who is meeting at Starbuck's doesn't come either.
I like not having to get anyone to school in the mornings, not doing as much laundry, not worrying about fixing healthy meals (or pizza!)... but I'd take all of that to have her back here with me.
She is so happy now. And I'm truly happy for her. But I miss her.

Good to read you out here again. Tough subject matter, though. I can't decide if I'm looking forward to it or dreading it when the kids are grown up. I think it's both ... what I do look forward to is reconnecting with Veda like we were pre-babies, but at the same time, I know it will be different not having those goofy laughs and interesting interactions with them. Well, I'll cross that bridge when it hits my GPS.
She IS HAPPY and that makes you happy! Even though it's new and it's hard.
(Glad you got a baby to play with now!!) ;)
I'm glad I have a baby to play with now too! He is the joy of my (new) life!
