A love note


I've found myself calling Michael at least 20 times a day,
Just to check up on things. The first time he went home with the kids,
I called several times to check on his plans for dinner.
He texted me a picture later that night of the food they ate.
I guess he wanted to put my mind at ease. 

My mom took care of Max and Kat for a few days while Michael worked.
I called her to see how things were going. She turned her back on Max for too long.
He dumped an entire bottle of root beer on the table and floor. 
The next day, Michael came home and found Max with a cup of yogurt. 
Most of it was on his head and the rest of it was all over his body. 
Nothing was in his mouth. Every time I imagine these scenes, I can't help but laugh.

I got the sweetest message last night from Michael:
I love you more than you could ever know. I admire and cherish you.
I have learned more than ever in the last couple of weeks how much you do for me 
and our family.  I miss you so much. I love you. I love you. I love you.
I love you too honey. Forever and for always.

Aw, what a sweet post. Been thinking about you guys, hoping you're holding up...I got sick with a cold last week so have stayed away but I think about you guys everyday! I can't help but laugh at the visual of little Max covered in yogurt, what a cutie! You are a great mom, probably hard to be apart. Hang in there, I'm here if you need ANYTHING!
