I've been working out of town for most of the last 18 months. Sometimes I get home every weekend; sometimes I'm out for 2 weeks at a time.
We've tried to stay close as a family with Skype and hours on hours of phone calls. We've done everything from family nights to algebra to bed time prayers like that.
Tonight Afton, our 3-year old daughter, said our prayer before dinner. Her tiny voice came across the speaker phone set on the table. There were the thanks for the fun and the food, as usual. Then, without hesitation or taking a breath, she broke my heart.
"And please bless my dad to come home right now. Because I really, really need him."
What can you say to that? ...
