I used to talk to Timmy all the time about Daddy when he was on the road. At the age he was, of course, he just sat there and listen, and when he'd hear him on the phone he'd wave at him, the cutest thing ever. It never seemed to bother him much that Daddy was away, even though he was SO happy to see him when he'd get home.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that Timmy is starting to feel emotions about it now. A few days ago I said to Timmy "where's Daddy?" Immediately he turned is head toward the stairs and started waving. (He does that when Daddy either comes in the door or comes downstairs from a nap) He just kept looking and waving, and when Daddy didn't come down the steps, he layed his head on the couch, and sobbed.
Well, this absolutely broke my heart. :( If I had known he would have gotten upset, I wouldn't have said anything. Already at such a young age, he's feeling these emotions of sadness when his Daddy isn't home. The last time he came home, Timmy heard the front door opening and bolted to the baby gate to see him. Something else he never used to do.
Tim is such a wonderful provider, and he amazes me all the time with the sacrifices he makes so I can live my own dream of staying home with my son, and any other future children, to watch them grow, and to guide them in the right direction. I get to take care of my husband, I get to take care of Timmy. I have such an amazing life because of him. But it's also very hard. I wish he didn't have to go, and I know he wishes he didn't have to go either. Being a truck driver's wife is not easy, no easier than being a truck driver.
To my loving husband:
Thank you so much for everything you do to take care of us and make sure we are happy and healthy!
We love you!
