270. Home with them

I see my children in their eyes.  I am pulled out of yesterday and given tomorrow.  Nothing about my future doesn’t include them.  Home for me has never been where my heart is…home is where they are.  Think about it, every day you come across people that you may want to have sex with.  That’s easy.  Many that you will find funny, smart and beautiful…but really ask yourself how many of those you can see coming home to at the end of a shitty day.  Who do you want to be next to you when facing tomorrow is just too much?  Knowing that during your day, when the shit hits the fan, I can call them.  No questions.  No payment required.  Just them and their voice in my ear. 
How many people can make you feel safe and have the ability to make time stop no matter what happens?  Knowing that when you get home…everything is okay.  Counting the minutes until you see them again even when you’re already with them. 

Safe.  Not because they say so, but because they make you feel it.  Falling on them, pillow fights, ice cream sandwiches in bed, reading next to one another, bedhead and feeling/knowing that there is no one better for you or your children.  More than trust…more than surface…the ability to be emotionally naked.  That, ladies and gentlemen is “home”.
