💔💔💔 Tonight is tough. For the last month, my boys have been asking for a sleepover in mommy and daddy’s bed. Tonight, we finally obliged, but it’s hard for me. As the boys lay here nestled between Jessica and me, I’m brought back to my childhood. Growing up, my mom worked the night shift as a nurse and would leave after bedtime and return in the morning. It was while she was gone I’d creep out of my bed, tip-toe down the hallway past my sister’s bedrooms, and crawl into my parent’s bed and nestle in beside my dad. Every night, I’d sleep in the bed with my dad. I did this into my teenage years and only stopped once my mom switched shifts. So, as I lay here tonight with my boys nestled up under me, it rips my heart to know I can’t sneak into Daddy’s room again and lay in the presence of my hero.
I really miss my Daddy tonight. 💔💔💔
