Something that my little family struggles with is time. My husband, Mike, has a very demanding job that requires long hours and quite often, sends him out of town for long periods of time. This means that I often spend my days and nights alone while caring for our son. This is something that I have been trying to cope with since Logan was born. Mike and I knew that this was how it was going to be, and we tried our best to mentally prepare ourselves for his life on the road, away from Logan and I....but until you are living it, you can never really know what it will be like.
What I've come to realize is that, while having lots of time together as a family is most definitely important, so is quality time. We may not get nearly as many days together as alot of families do, but making the most of each moment is key to making this lifestyle work for us. Trying our best to laugh, play, and relax together is what memories will be made from. Years from now, I want Logan to look back and remember that even though Daddy had to work alot, he did it to provide a comfortable, stable life for us! I want him to remember all the times that we did get to spend together, and how wonderful it felt to have happy parents that are secure in their marriage....even when the distance seemed too much to bear.
I want the time we spend together as a family of 3 to be overflowing with quality moments....and to make memories that will last a lifetime.
