Don't know what you have till it's gone??


You ever heard the saying " You don't know what you have till it's gone?" Well... My husband has his own logging business and yes he works very long hours but he does come home each and every night until... He took this temporary little camp job. He has been gone for only 3 days (2 nights) and I am lost! The power went out last night and I wanted to cry, me and the girls sat on the couch with candles burning all saying we missed him and then the three year old gets all teary and starts saying with a trembling voice "I miss my daddy" . Our dog Hunter even misses him, he has these big droopy eyes and looks so sad! He has not even touched his food he misses Trent so much. When the power went out Trent knows where all the flashlights are and lights the candles, he is not afraid of going to the basement if he has too but me on the other hand...I made the girls sleep in my room. It made me feel better plus they didn't complain either!

It is the little things that I take for granted, I miss his smile when he walks through the door and sees us after a long day, it is his warm body cuddling me and keeping me warm at night, I miss hearing his truck pull in the drive way and being so excited he is home. Well, he will hopefully be home tomorrow evening and we will have to tell just how much we missed him!
