When we went to the beach last weekend, I took Carli out in the water. As I looked out across the expansive ocean, I thought about the people I love that live across the Atlantic. I thought of my sister and her family in Switzerland. I pointed far in the distance and told Carli that her aunt, uncle, and cousin live way out there across the sea.
Then I thought of Chris, and I pointed again and told her that Daddy was way far away across the ocean. I felt the waves lapping at our feet. I told her that the waves were hugs and kisses that he was sending to us from his side of the ocean. I know it was something I made up for my young child, but it felt so good to actually "feel" a hug and kiss from him again.
