Solo

Becca and the kids opted to stay in St. George for a few more days which meant I had to fly home this evening on a back rub/barf maker special. When I got home it dawned on me how alone I was, a feeling I have long since forgotten. As I stumbled over a few errant toys and didn't hear any cries my heart began to sink and the loneliness I once craved has now brought me much sadness. I guess that it takes a little absence to make the heart grow fonder.

Anyway, there's a great Tom Waits song that is currently hitting the spot entitled, A House Where Nobody Lives. I couldn't agree more with the following sentiment:

So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold
Don't trade it for silver
Don't trade it for gold
I have all of life's treasures
And they are fine and they are good
They remind me that houses
Are just made of wood
What makes a house grand
Ain't the roof or the doors
If there's love in a house
It's a palace for sure
Without love...
It ain't nothin but a house
A house where nobody lives

Come home safely, my little creatures. I love you and miss you madly.

hugs,
Dad
