There is nothing more special or important to me than my little family. And it's true that there is nothing like absence to make the heart grow fonder.
Mr S has been away for 2 weeks, and is now away for another week, but thankfully Little Miss T and I were able to travel to Rotorua on the weekend just gone to see him for 2 nights and 1.5days. It was such a whirlwind, but it was very worth the road trip.
Seeing my daughters face when she and her Daddy reunited was priceless - one of those moments that will replay in my mind for years to come - and for me, being able to hug him after what has been our longest time ever apart in the 6 and a half years we've been together (albeit with a HUGE belly in between us) was like eating the yummiest sticky date pudding with caramel sauce - pure comfort!
I can handle the next week at home alone having had this brief encounter and despite the pain and discomfort I'm in, I know that the days will rush by until we are all together again and planning for the arrival of our precious little Button in 8 short weeks (although at the time of writing I will confess that 8 weeks feels more like a lifetime!)
Family - it'd be an empty life without one.
Make sure to love and appreciate yours today.
