Yesterday while at work I took a moment to reflect and write this....
I'm at work but I'm having a hard time focusing. My mind is wondering to the cold weather outside, craving to be at home with my family. I want to be cozy and comfy, not doing much at all, maybe sitting by the window looking out.
I'm thinking of last night (Sunday) when Kyle came over for dinner. Karlee couldn't come, she was at work. It was a quite moment, none of us talked much. I had Duck Dynasty in the background (thinking of my daddy). Sara was curled up on one end of the couch with a blanket eating her chicken tortilla soup and messing around on her phone. Kyle was on the other end eating his soup, he'd look up at times from his phone which had a football game on it, the Cowboys were playing, to look up at the T.V. and laugh at times.
Just simply being in the same room, hanging out sharing a meal together was perfect. A meal truly does bring family together. Kyle at dinner, two helping of soup and then a bowl of cereal. He stayed a little longer after he ate and then grabbed the bags I had for him with left over soup and other food. He gave me a lingering hug and told me thank you and that he loved me, opened the door and walked out to go to his apartment.
Sara hung out a little longer on the couch downstairs with me and then ventured upstairs to her room for the rest of the evening.
Family is something so important to me. I hope I've done a good job expressing that to the kids so that they will have that same feeling of home and family in their lives and no matter how far apart they may find themselves one day from each other that they will work hard to be together when they can, enjoying and making the most of it.
