He can Show Me
I just got home from two days away from my babies.
When my husband pulled up in the arrivals section of the airport, I practically ran to the vehicle.
There is nothing better than coming home.
Sawyer, one of my middles, opened the door and jumped in my arms.
My other middle, Harbie, screamed….’mommy!! I’ve. Been. Waiting. For. You!’
And my daughter, Wynnie, she was all smiles.
With Cooper, he’s more standoffish. A wave. A coy smile.
When I climbed back to him, he immediately grabbed my hand and pulled it to his face.
He held it there. Smiling. Smelling. Feeling.
A happy hum coming from his throat. And he held it there for the ride home.
He can’t tell me that he missed me.
But he can show me.
‘I thought you were never coming home mommy. We missed you so big.’ – Harbie, age 3.
