Letters from the edge...

I truley am blessed to have you both in my life. I cannot imagine life without you two. I hate that we spend so much time away from each other. I miss being able to be there to watch Madison during her recital. I miss being next to my lovely wife.

We've spoken often of how this is the life we've chosen, and that while we both know that its not going to be like this forever, I miss you both so very much. While I know that this is all a means to an end, I look forward to coming home and being with you both.

I wanted to let you know I love you both beyond all reason. While work separates us, I think of you both without end, even in the midsts of my crazy self induced stress on the job, its pulling up to the house and seeing roxy come barreling out of the house with raised hair, barking up a storm because I'm teasing her in the dark, Its seeing madison in the upstairs window patiently waiting and waiving to me from a sillohetted picture of her little self when she probably should be in bed. Its seeing my lovely wife standing in the door way welcoming me home after my long absence, its the long awaited reunion that keeps me hopeful that my time away will soon be at an end.

I love you both and am so very proud of my little family. Thanks Sheila for being the hard facts kind of girl that you are when Im not so logical. I know that we dont always make sense to each other, but regardless were always together none the less. Your awesome.

Madison, Your such a wonderful daughter. No father could be any luckier to call you his own. Im very proud of you and your aspirations. I love hearing the stories that mommy tells me of you. Your quips of wisdom and humor. You truely are a brilliant little girl. I love you and cannot wait to give you a great big hug.

Wishing you well from So cal and wishing I was with you all right now.

with much love.

Me.
