Look what the cat dragged in! (TL)

Today seemed so long without him around. Got a lot of good work done though, trying to be positive.

Even son commented this afternoon how it was really quiet around here without Dad. He would have liked to play a game with him. I told him if he wanted to he could give Dad a call to let him know he was missed. So son did that after dinner, got the voice mail.

I thought son's message was very sweet. H called back a few minutes later, hadn't even checked the voicemail. Says he called back in case it was an emergency (interesting he had this thought, I had mentioned the other day that his having the car and getting no cell coverage at OW's makes me nervous about what I would do if there was ever an emergency). I said it wasn't an emergency, son was just missing him a little. I told him he could listen to the voicemail later. I asked if he wanted to talk to son now, he says he is just getting ready to "go out" so just tell son he loves him. Passed along the message and son replied he loves him too.

I was doing pretty well today until hearing his voice on the phone. Made me feel a little lonely all of a sudden.

Also wishing now that I had specifically thanked him for calling back. Notes for next time.
