A bond that is still there after months away.

Fathers and Sons.....

Published on November 14, 2004 By lifehappens In Home & Family

I'm up in the middle of the night because I'm at the point where I just can't get comfortable anymore. The house is quiet and my husband has been home for less than 12 hours.

My son wakes up and calls from the other room, "MOMMY, DADDY, MOMMY, DADDY". I was right here on the computer, so I was able to get to him before he woke up all the way. I never did figure out what woke him up or why he was crying, but I will never forget that he is already calling for his Daddy.

I can't explain why that makes me so sad and happy without turning this into a blog the size of War and Peace, but I think other parents may understand. I wanted to go wake my husband up right away, just to tell him that his son was calling him.

So happy your hubby is home. Now if the stork will just fly by so that he has time to bond with the newcomer. Today in church a family (We thought they had 6 children...it turned out three were nieces or nephews) put life into the worship. They made me smile throughout the service. At the end we sang "Soon and very soon I'm a gonna see the King!" It was very peppy. One of those children got out in the aisle and did a great dance to the beat. I felt that is the way we should all feel when we are giving praise to God. My prayers are with you.
