This post made my day, as I read it early this morning. I can’t wait to fill the empty spot on the couch next to you. My hands long for that place they want to be. I love you, Lotus!
Soon!

Oh I want to hug you! (And that would totally be the same as J being there – right?!)

This was excellent.

Pretty piece, Lotus. It’s nice to feel that way about someone, isn’t it? And yet it is an agony, as well. No less agonizing for it’s sweetness, it is a pain so many endure. I wish him home, for you.

As your other marriage partner, I can totes come sit on the couch and paint your toes just like J does.

I wish you lived closer. I know it’s hard to be alone. I love you, hun!

Oh…that was beautiful.

My husband used to travel for work all the time. I was surrounded by family, but I still hated being without him.

((hugs))

I know it sucks to be alone. Let me rephrase that, alone without an adult who can form complete sentences. Wrecks your nerves.
A new season is coming soon. That’s a good thing.

lovely words…hope the spot on the couch next to you is filled soon.

Beautiful, just beautiful, Lotus. It made me think “That’s how my wife must feel when I’m away all the time”…

And then I saw John’s reply and I thought “I wish I could be smart enough to say things like that to Gaby”… You guys love each other very much, and it shows.

The best part of John being away has to be the countdown till when he’s back.

I don’t know you well enough to just offer hugs like that, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. And life is short like that, eh?

As someone else in love with/loved by a touring musician, I feel like I could have written this. Only not nearly as beautifully. It’s hard. Sometimes I’m glad for the independence but most days are just countdowns. He’s home for now but spring was a 12-week tour and fall brings 6 weeks out. You do provide a lot of hope that marriage and families have a place in that world though and I can’t really thank you enough for that.
