They say that "absence makes the heart grow fonder"... but I sincerely believe that the heart needs presence to nurture and care for it.
These past two weeks have been one of the most memorable times of my life.
I spent every waking moment with my children.
I was there when they woke up.
I was there when they complained, when they argued, and fought.
I was there when they laughed.
I was with them when they cried.
I was there when they called out for me to reassure them, comfort them.
But now they're gone again, back to their usual routine.
It's okay.
I know that when they come back, my heart will jump for joy at the very sight of each of them.
