Sweet Dreams

Today, E2 was lying next to me, asleep.
She awoke, and immediately said “Daddy!”, with a huge smile on her face. I hadn’t seen that smile for months.
She woke further, and realized that it wasn’t Daddy sleeping next to her.
The smile immediately dissipated.
It nearly broke my heart.

Awwww! {{Hugs}} to both of you. M2 had those moments when Hubs was deployed. Always cracked my heart a bit too. The wonderful part is when he grabs her up when he comes home, you'll see that smile and then some & your heart will fill in all those cracks.

Broke my heart to read about it. Hang in there.
