Pink Roses

#29: Message her in the morning and tell her to have a good day at school/work and how much you miss her.

Rose yawned and shut off the alarm clock, silently cursing the stupid thing. She sat up and swung her legs out of her and Mack's bed. After sliding her feet into the fuzzy pink slippers at her side of the bed, she padded out into the kitchen.

Breathing in the wonderful scent of fresh coffee, Rose turned on the lights in the front of the apartment. There was a piece of paper on the table.

Hey sweetheart,

I have meetings all day (yawn). I should be home around six tonight; see you then. I love you and I'm sorry I couldn't be there to grace you with my presence this morning. Hope the coffee makes up for it. Tickle Jamie for me and tell her Daddy loves her. I miss you.

Love,

Mack

She smiled at Mack's sweet little note and then poured herself a cup of the coffee Mack had made for her. He always did sweet little things like that, and it was these little signs of affection that Rose loved most about her husband. It was these little things that made their daughter adore her father.

Rose sipped her coffee as she padded down the hallway again, this time not to her and Mack's room but to Jamie's. The three year old was curled up under her pink blankets, dark hair spread out on the pillow. "You're a lucky little girl, Jamie, to have a daddy that loves us both so much."
