Lauren recently said to me, "Mom, church day is my favorite day."
"Really?" I asked, thrilled at the thought of her growing love of the gospel.
"Yep," she said. "It's the only day I get to see Daddy when I'm not sleeping in my bed."
Tonight during dinner Lauren burst into tears. "I wish Daddy was here for di-i-i-nner!"
I tried to console her, then carried a few dishes into the kitchen. When I came back she had gone into the living room and returned with a framed picture of Kim kissing her cheek. She arranged it next to her plate, then ate a few more peas.
We'll all be glad when these long days apart are behind us.
Update: After dinner it was bath time. I started the water, then turned around to see Lauren holding the picture. "Can we put this on the toilet?"
