four different airports
in three different countries
in 24 hours.
packed tightly
with pissed off adults.
and.
countless.
SCREAMING.
babies.
most people would
(understandably)
hate such a situation.
but with a
little perspective
those annoyances seem
so minor.
(i'm sure you can relate).
and after a few
days away
from my child,
those screaming babies
made me smile.
(the me from 4 years ago cannot believe the current me just wrote that).
and they made me
excited to see
my best girl again.
being without her these
past few days,
well, i just haven't
felt like me.
i just hope
she's quiet when
we head back
to los angeles
on saturday.
I think that you are such a sweet, good father!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been that parent on the plane with the screaming baby, and I have been the parent on the plane with the unreasonable toddler. Now I find it almost relaxing when it is someone elses kid because I know its not me who has to sit there trying to soothe the baby or distract the toddler while sweating and nervously laughing off the dirty looks. Screaming babies, and unreasonable toddlers = life. And how lucky are those people who feel pain is being on a plane with loud kids? They are lucky to not know what REAL pain is. I am happy you had some time off, you need and deserve it. I know you will have an amazing reunion with your best girl and I am positive you gave her grandparents the best gift ever - time with your beautiful daughter.
