A missing piece of the heart

Daddy goes on a work trip once every year-end. This is the first time with baby that Daddy went overseas.

I think as a family, we miss each other more when one of us is not around. The house feels empty, hollow. I did not miss Daddy that much on previous years, but with boy around, it feels like a piece of the heart is missing.

I don't know of boy is aware of the missing parent, he seems normal enough. Daddy had the foresight to burn some video clips of him singing nursery rhymes and chatting. When boy watches the vcd every evening, he pays rapt attention to the screen. He seems to recognise the face and voice, and watches intently.

Thankfully we are kept busy everyday so we don't have time to mull over things too much. It is now Thursday and only three days away till Daddy's return! :)
