In anticipation of daddy going on a business trip today, we went through a production of good-bye hugs and good-bye kisses. We assured daddy that we would talk to him on the telephone and blow him plenty of kisses during his absence.
This morning, I awoke anticipating a normal day of chaos prior to getting the kids fed and dressed before school started. Instead of being greeted with happy smiles and good morning cheer as I enter the girls' bedroom, both girls look a little sad, smiles turned down, lower lip puffed out, and shoulders slumped.
Dagny questioned, "Where daddy go? I want daddy."
Valerie announces, "I want daddy too. Is he already on an airplane?"
So, for the most part the girls mope around here in the hopes that daddy's trip will be canceled and he will appear for dinner.
Of course, the moment daddy returns from his trip and walks through the door with open arms, the girls will bashfully smile and quickly hug him, Then, they will say, "I want mommy."
And daddy will never know how much he was truly missed.
