I Get Misty Eyed at Work, But No One Sees Me
Kristen e-mailed me this little note at work today, and it hit me just so ... I tell you there's nothing better and worse, sweeter and sadder than being missed by your baby son.

Subject: the sweetest thing...
I just had to tell you that I was showing David the pictures George brought over last night of us at the opening ceremonies of the Highland Games and David looked at the pictures of you carrying him in the pack and started saying, "Da-Da, Da-Da" and starting whimpering and tried to go down the stairs to find you. I asked him, "You miss Daddy, huh?" and he nodded. I tried to tell him that you would be home for a whole week on vacation and though I don't think he quite got it, it seemed to cheer him up a bit.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that little story...
Love you!
Kris
