Homecoming

My husband has been gone for nearly a week, and he comes home today. We have so many plans for the weekend - carving pumpkins, shopping, trick or treating, having a birthday party for great grandpa, and just hanging out. When my kids got out of the bathtub this morning, I put Colby's lotion on them so I could be reminded of his masculine smell. They just thought it was cool to use Daddy's "smell gooder". I have 4 little pieces of him with me all the time, but when I fold his laundry or take out the recycling I'm reminded of all that is so far away. My best friend. My partner. The man my children run to like there's a magnetic force. I'm so glad he's coming home.
