Today's challenge was very appropriate, as my husband left for a Missions trip to Haiti. He will be away for 14 days. I made it a point to make sure he knew and everyone else at the airport knew that I was going to miss my man --sort of. I put it off on Kendall a bit. Here's how it went down.
When we arrived at the airport, I got out and kissed him goodbye. He was appreciative of us taking him to Dayton and we embraced and parted ways. As I got ready to pack Kendall into the car, I told him that we would stay until the group made it through security. I went to park the car in short term parking and returned to the airport check in area. Once check in was completed, the group began making their way to the security checkpoint. Again we said goodbye and embraced for what was to be the last time for 2 weeks. The group made their way to the security checkpoint. I said my goodbyes to other members of our church family who were also seeing loved ones off. Then I took off in a jog through the airport to the security checkpoint, with Kendall in the stroller. I said, 'Kendall wanted to say one more goodbye to her dad.' I know - why did I blame it on the kid? Kendall's godmother said, you just wanted to say one more goodbye to your man. I said, 'you're right.'
Why is it so hard for me to be affectionate toward the absolute love of my life? Clearly, I was too prideful to say, 'Honey, I am so proud of you and will miss you terribly.' Why? I have to get over myself and unashamed about being in love with my husband. After all, he is amazing and truly the best. I need to ensure I make a good and consistent impression.
Be blessed!
