Five Minute Fridays are about the only posts I am managing right now. My focus is elsewhere.
Focus...
Miles of water and land separate father and son. Yet, they do not lose focus. Dad calls on Skype before bedtime. Jacob pushes off naptime, tosses duplos aside and runs to the computer; focused on "dada." He blows daddy kisses, plays peekaboo and says "dada" over and over. Bittersweet moments; focused on one another.
Smiling
Laughing
Playing
Touching...Jacob touches his dad's face. He seems to think he can crawl right into the screen and transport himself from mom's lap in South Carolina to dad's in Afghanistan. He cannot, so he continues to touch his father's face and kiss the monitor.
Love
Communication
Focus
Keeps us going.
1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community..
So thankful to have linked up behind you for FMF.
ReplyDeleteI know this bitter sweet focus and I am sending you and your sweet one hugs. I'm a Navy wife, and I know this ache. It's nice to "meet" you today.
Oh, this really tugs at the heartstrings. Blessings to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI loved your post. You and your family are in my thoughts. And thank you for your sacrifice and for his service. I don't think we can thank you enough.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you. I cannot imagine how it must be being separated from your loved one. Saying a prayer for you today! Stopped over from Five Minute Friday.
