Absence does make the heart grow fonder!
Incase you all wanted to know, I had a great birthday last week. My dad and I went to this local bar and had a few beers. Then around 6pm I was ready to leave, and my dad kept telling me, “OK, after this beer.” So I was waiting and waiting…I was hungry and wanted to go eat, and I was just done being at that bar. Then all of a sudden my husband walks in! He’s been working out of town Monday through Friday, so I usually don’t see him until Friday nights. He told me he wasn’t able to get off work to come down and see me on my birthday, and I was ok with that because it’s not his fault, and he’s new at that company so he couldn’t just leave work. I was SO happy to see him when he walked in! I totally was not expecting him at all, and him and my dad schemed behind my back to have him surprise me. Very sweet. I have never been so happy to see my husband in my whole life, ever. I grabbed him and hugged him and kissed him multiple times, I was just extatic. My dad is a very non-emotional person, and very macho and manly, but he said that with the look on my face when I saw my husband, and how I was just so happy and was hugging him, that almost made my dad cry! LOL! I thought that was very, very sweet of my dad to say, and I’m so happy that my happiness made my dad so happy. It is true what they say though - absence does make the heart grow fonder. Having weekdays apart from my husband does make the weekends so much better when we can spend the time together. I can not wait to see him on Friday nights and I hate it when he has to leave on Sundays to go back to work. Hopefully he’ll only have one or two more weeks of the out of town work, but we shall see.
