So it's Father's day. Hallmark holiday or not, you find you want to do something special for the one with whom you share some pretty amazing kids. Problem? He's 8,000 miles away and communication is very limited. Hmmm...

Well, first, you better plan ahead. This means putting together a package and mailing it off atleast a month in advance. Then you sit back and pray like hell that the USPS doesn't screw this one up. With any luck, he'll receive it right around Father's Day--or atleast in the same fiscal year.

Second, you take note of the massively huge time difference and obsessively check the clock so the second it hits midnight where he is, you can be the first one to drop him an email wishing him a happy holiday.

Lastly, you compose a mushy lil blog entry and hope his internet is working.

So here's to you, baby...Father's Day 2009. Separated physically against our wills by 8,000 miles but never closer in our hearts. You mean the world to us. You are our everything. All your little women miss you terribly and can not wait for the day you return to us.

All our love

XOXO

With all my heart, I wish all the loving fathers of this world--cut off from their families by want or work or war--could be safe again. For I know how much it means to have such a father--how much I need him in the small everyday things--and just how much he needs me.
