Home from Kentucky

Flight attendants are not as eager to serve or please as tip-dependent waitresses. I’ve been both in my life, so I know the inner workings going on…I think I would like another tiny bottle of $7 Cabernet, but I have not been propositioned yet.

It is always so hard leaving one of my men and being thousands of miles from the other. Man in Kentucky and I said goodbye at an airport, again. This long distance love stuff is getting mighty old.

At last, I am home from Kentucky.

I wasn’t prepared for how much love flooded me when I saw Lucca again. It had only been a week, but a week in the life of a 2 year old is a progressive span of time.

It is strange hosting both of these feelings inside of me: the pain of missing a full grown man and the joy of being with a little boy.

The overriding emotion within me this morning is absolute gratitude for the things great and small in my life…

for the ever-expanding love of an amazing man

and

for the the tiny hands that cling to my finger.

Can’t wait for the two men in my life to re-unite. I imagine something like this moment, happening again in December, perhaps there is snow and a santa hat involved:

  1. Sorry about the crazy feelings but I’m glad you at least have some warm snuggles to come home to.

    You are truly blessed. All three of you are.

  2. Oh this is such a sweet story unfolding for all of us to witness: you and the love of your two men!

    You do have a lot to be thankful for.

  3. I love that picture!

  4. I can’t wait either – because we’ll be there to visit in a heart beat! Maybe Benjamin and Lucca will be playing in the snow together! So damn exciting, I couldn’t be happier, especially after meeting him – Man in Kentucky is one of a kind. Now I just have to wait to meet Mr. Lucca! Yay!

    Bursting over here – waiting for you to come home. : )

  5. Awww every moment is even more exciting!
