This post made my stomach feel empty and brought tears to my eyes. I can’t sleep without Evan in the bed with me, and the tasks of the seem silly when he’s gone. And, oddly enough, I love to be alone. I don’t think you’re a big baby because you miss Husband when he’s away. Or maybe you are, and I am too. Oh well.

I’m with you, Aidan. I’d HATE it if my husband travelled for work. In our 17 years of marriage, the only days we’ve been apart have been for me being in the hospital to have the kids, when I had surgery, or when my daughter broke her arm. That’s it. We are homebodies, like two old shoes, even when we were young shoes.

And, what a lovely love letter.

Welcome to ILI, Maki! Now you are making me feel bad! I am talking two days and you are talking 90! I cannot imagine how hard that must be for you. Thanks for popping by. Now, its bedtime for me

Awe I can totally relate to this post – my husband has been way for the past 45 days because of his new job. He’s on training and he won’t be back for another 45 days…. My girls and I miss him dearly!

Beautiful post!

Mine always leaves me a jar of Nutella when he's away. He knows I love it so. And I sit on the couch and eat it, straight from the jar, and watch my shows and my movies. The Nutella (and the solitude) is always delicious, but every spoonful reminds me how much I miss him. It's the best and worst of worlds, isn't it?

I recently spent my first weekend without Husband since having kids. I enjoyed the little things like eating brownies for dinner and going a wee bit longer between showers, but mostly I missed him. I missed my partner in crime and my partner in parenting.

I hope your husband gets home safely.

First of all, this is SUCH a beautiful post.

Secondly, my husband does travel for work. It used to be A LOT, now it’s just here and there. He’s done this since before we were married and while I really don’t like it, I guess I’m SO used to it that sometimes it feels as if he’s just gone to the office for the day. I think I have to force myself to not feel it too intensely or I’d just get too depressed. That used to happen and I had to adjust. It’s hard. There is an empty space when they are gone, that’s for sure.

Loving this Aidan! I feel almost exactly the same way any time my husband is gone. Good to know it’s not just me.
