Had a long day today. Got home a little while ago and sat down next to Kristine. She read some until she finally fell asleep on the couch. I really don't like being gone from the morning till the evening. Sometimes I leave around 9am and get home shortly after 10pm. Sometimes I leave home at 7.30am and get home at 11.30pm. Other times I get home around 4pm. Those are wonderful days for our family. They seem to be few and far between though.
Listen to me... Just got home from a whole week with the family in Austria and I'm already complaining. I guess that's just it though. Like the saying goes, "you don't know what you got till it's gone". The week with Kristine and Jamie (of course there were a lot of people from the church there as well), was like balsam for my soul. Inside I began dancing and feeling the spirit of my Kristine in ways I couldn't imagine. After spending just a week with her, every day all day, her problems, worries, fears and dreams are more real to me and make me l
ook at her differently in our day to day life now.Vacation is not for the week at heart but rather for those, who have grasped the truth behind a healthy mind and spirit, and the magic that happens in the community of ones family in the time you are away together.
Go on vacation more! All of you!

Hey there Bunky. You have learned (already) both the joys and the sorrows of having a family. Life happens around us while we are busy doing other things -- I think John Lennon said something like that once. Anyway -- it is good you've learned this lesson so early in your marriage; having children helps you find the value in the hours at home....and the hours away from home. Now you know how much you and your little family mean to me and how my heart longs to be with you every day. I love you. Mom
