Goodnight America

Be writing again soon! How many would be interested in a book with these thoughts in them?

(read this as you listen to “secret garden” by Bruce Springsteen).
You pull into the driveway... as you walk up to the door, you prepare yourself to go the extra mile.. why? Because she needs you to. As you step through the door and set your briefcase down, you scratch the dog behind the ear and you look across the room to catch her glance... she is looking expectantly... you smile a wry smile... and wink... she smiles gleefully... you say purposefully, “how do you stay so radiant after taking care of our children all day? She giggles a bit and glances down, only to look up to catch you still looking at her purposefully... you say: “You know I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world... and you walk toward her and brush the hair from her face and and pull her toward you... your kiss is strong, soft, and passionate... It is a kiss that shows you are in love... and she knows you would die for her... you pick her up and carry her to the bedroom, lay her down on the bed and go to the kitchen to prepare some grapes, crackers and salami for the both of you, and listen to her tell you about her day.... and you are interested and engaged.... finally you stop her and and say... “have I told you I am in love with you today?” She giggles and says “no,” and you say, “I am.” Then you tell her you missed her today... and she smiles... the night ends awesomely...
oh and don’t forget to tuck the kids in first. Because, well that is what you do. That is what good dads and good husbands do.... they take care of their family!

Goodnight America... When you have to be away working, make sure you call your wife... you need to call her before she calls you... She needs to know that you are thinking of her first. Have a poem you prepared before hand no matter how corny it is... and that you wrote just for her... It will show that you were thinking of her throughout the day... Write something along the lines of, your love for her numbers the stars in the heavens, and that you need her like the seashore needs the ocean... and like the desert needs the rain... When you have read it to her and laughed a little, make sure you are in the bed, and tell her that is where you are... because her voice is the last thing you want to hear before you fall asleep... Plan the family trip together, and talk with her through it... don't fix things just listen to her plans... tell her she is a blessing, and you can't wait to get home... and that you will call her tomorrow.... and before you do, text her that she is the most beautiful woman in the world.... Oh yeah, and hurry home... because the home fires are burning...
oh, and don't forget to bring the kids something cool. Because well... you are the dad.

Love is patient...
