A New Day

[Lifes Twists]

Thanks T and D,

I was sitting here last night in my house with a bunch of kids around me having fun, laughter and such. My oldest was at the table doing her class registration for the spring semester. My wife calls our oldest and my oldest starts asking questions to help her make decisions on courses. In the back ground kids are laughing and having good time. Eventually my wife asks to talk to youngest, middle daughter is at work. They talk a couple minutes, but daughter wants to go back to having fun so ends convo and hands off to oldest again. I sat there the whole time, surrounded by all the laughter and warmth and was sad. Sad that my wife has chosen to be a mother from a distance and not being there to take in these moments. I wonder what goes through her head when she hears the background laughter and such. Really too bad the choices she has made.
