I have not seen my children for just over two weeks now which is the longest that I have ever been apart from them but they are coming home tonight!
Without them it is hard to feel completely whole, fathering was, is and always will be that which is most important to me. I have pined for them terribly and for a time became incredibly anxious when I could not get in contact wth them. This was due to them being away, something whch I hadn't been informed about but as soon as I knew that I would hear their voices again then I calmed again and was even able to relax enough to do some photography.
So now I am tidying around trying to make the house look as good as it can for their arrival. I have my work cut out though as their bedrooms are part the way through packing for the 'tremendously exciting house move' which as you know I am so 'delighted' by.
This part of the counting down time is the fantastic part, I am full of energy and excitement and even some plans.
Sadly, it is counter balanced by the truly appalling moments when you are counting the time to when they leave.
But for today let me forget about the darkness coming and celebrate the rising of the sun on a new day.
