A Lonely Valentines Day...
Well, for the first time in about 13-14 years I am not with my wife on Valentine's Day. (We've only been married 11 years, but we spent Feb 14 together for at least 2-3 years prior to getting married.)
Melodye is in the US awaiting appropriate lab results before the doctor will release her to come back to Albania. She was evacuated on an emergency basis a week ago due to a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Turned out to be a molar pregnancy, but that can still be life threatening so we are glad she is in the US.
Unfortunately that leaves the 4 men in our family alone on this side of the ocean. Jonathan (2) has taken to following me around from one room to another (even to the bathroom) because he just can't bear to be apart from Daddy now that Mommy has been gone for several days. We had originally thought Melodye would get back today and we had told the boys that. When I told Joshua (5) that Mommy wouldn't be back for a week or more he cried and cried. Christopher (6) is being very stoic, but when we skyped Mommy tonight he was unusually talkative and just wanted to tell her everything about school today -- usually you can't get him to say anything besides "fine" so this was pretty significant to me to see his missing of his mommy.
If you're reading this we would appreciate your prayers.
