Emotional basket

I love my family but when I travel, I am consumed with work and try very not to miss them. Despite all my efforts, this trip is harder than anything. I had a great 3 month downtime of no travels and lots of family time. As I type, my eyes are teary just thinking about them. I miss my daughter terribly. She's not calling me "Daddy" anymore and hearing her call me "Mommy" melts my heart. She has these cheeks you just want to pluck a kiss on. And when she smiles, they are even more adorable. We love making her laugh. I can't believe today is only Monday...only 4 more days to go.
