"Mommy, when's Daddy gonna call?" Monica's four-year-old daughter, Micaela, asked.
"Soon, sweetie," Monica promised, though she herself was wondering the same thing. She didn't need to worry, though. He always called.
"He's gonna be home for my game, right?" six-year-old Ryan asked.
Monica smiled, "Of course he is, Ry. He wouldn't miss it." Ryan grinned at Monica's words, which he knew were completely true. His father never missed his games, he knew that. He just wanted his mother's reassurance.
Monica focused on washing the dinner dishes as Ryan and Micaela played in the living room. Every other plate or so, however, she'd glance at them, and their surroundings, her surroundings. She loved her surroundings. Her sprawling, gorgeous, clean Connecticut home, filled with photographs of her picterisque family.
She loved her family. Her husband was.....well, just about perfect. She'd always known that, and she couldn't imagine regretting her marriage to him. At first, he hadn't been so certain about children, but once she'd finally convinced him, he'd become an amazing father to Ryan, and then Micaela.
"Yeah," Monica said softly under her breath, "My life's pretty perfect."
Monica's thoughts were jolted as the phone rang shrilly. "Daddy!" Micaela screeched, and Ryan flipped off his telelvision program, running anxiously to the phone.
"Hold on!" Monica laughed. She smiled and picked up the phone.
"Hey, sweetie," a familiar voice said, "How're things?"
"Well," Monica said softly, "I've got two very anxious kids who want to talk to you."
Her husband laughed, "Put them on," he said happily.
Micaela spoke to her father, and then Ryan, "Daddy, when are you coming home." Ryan's father said something, and Ryan's face filled with a grin. Finally, he said good-bye and handed the phone to Monica. "Daddy told me he's already here," Ryan said, smiling, "He's everywhere we look."
Monica had to keep from crying, "Yeah, Ry, he is," she said, and shooed the kids back to family room. "Hey, baby," she said to her husband, "I really miss you."
He sighed, "I miss you, too. These conferences are awful."
Monica laughed, "Would they be better if I was there?"
"Most definitely," he said, "Look, sweetie, I've got to go. I'll see you soon, okay? I love you."
Monica smiled as his soft words, "Yeah. I love you too."
"So much," he said gently.
"So much," she replied, and hung up the phone. She clutched the receiver to her chest for a few moments, missing her husband incredibly, but reminding herself he'd be home soon enough. She grinned, and set the phone down. She joined Ryan and Micaela in the living room, and as they snuggled up to her to watch a movie, there was only one thought going through her mind. Life was good.
He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
And when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
And said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind
I'm already there
Take a look around
'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles apart But I'll be with you wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already There
TBC.....
