After driving with no headlights last night {high beams only}, I was happy to make it home without getting pulled over. I love my job, but I do not love the late nights when they are required. Especially when I miss giving my daughter baths, washing her hair and combing out her little curls. I hate missing out on picking out the pjs and other "goodnight" rituals.
And although Taty should have been fast asleep, she was cuddled in my bed with Daddy. I could hear her little voice asking, "where's Mommy" and saying, "I need Mommy." Not upset or sad. Just having a regular conversation with her Dad. Letting him know she wanted me nearby.
When I crept in the room, her entire face lit up. She jumped up, ran over to me and exclaimed, "Mommy! I missed you!" Oh how my heart swelled. It's amazing. <3.kiah
