Three Whole Days

Daddy was gone for three whole days. To many of you that happens quite often but for us it was the first time we have spent apart for more than ten hours since moving in together.

Certain protocols such as posting by text whenever a destination was reached or departed from were still in place but....

For three whole days using the bathroom happened whenever the need arose without giving it a second thought happened.

For three whole days any chair or seat in the house was there for taking at anytime.

For three whole days clothes were picked out without approval at the last second before leaving for work.

For three whole days the Daddy's girl pacifier sat in the nightstand at bedtime while pajamas were worn. The favorite long flowing flower nightgown that reminds Daddy of an old lady.

For three whole days the fishing rod pole leaned in the corner next to the nightstand appearing like something forgotten to be put away after a day out in nature. The clover clamps stayed tucked away.

Three whole days. Longest three days ever, grateful they are over.
