rain drops falling on my head

there is nothing easy about saying good-bye, is there? the house was so quiet today. the kids were wandering around playing quietly with toys, not really anything in particular or for a long amount of time. the rain didn't make it any easier. all day it rained. all day. there was no kids running around looking in closets for daddy hiding. no one wrestling in the living room. no runing up and down the stairs. no strong hugs, no hands to hold, no lips to kiss. come back soon honey. we loved every moment you were home and are already counting down the days until you come back.
