Absence and Work

There is the old phrase "Absence makes the heart grows fonder". This phrase is very true right now in my life. While my wife has been incredibly generous with her time and allowing me more time with our children, it is still painful when I have to leave them.

I always wondered if one had a huge loss in one's life, would going back to a regular routine actually help. Well, it does, but only because you do not have time to think. Right now, I do not like that at all. I find that after I am done with work, I am so tired that I cannot think like I need to. So I force myself to concentrate. I need to work on changing. This work does come easy, and I need to be able to spend time on it. That is the challenge this week. How do I find the time to do what I need to and still function?

I need to find this answer because this will be a huge break-through in balancing my life and the caring I need to show my wife and children. But break-throughs are not overnight, so until I reach that understanding, I will still having my heartbreak a little bit every time I need to let them go, and leave their home.
