Missing Him

Hard to believe, but I haven't seen my older son Matthew now for four months. He's is winding down his second year at Chico State. It's so strange when we get older how we adjust to separation. I love Matthew today as much as the day he was born, but sometimes I kind of forget I have another son. It's sort of like out of sight out of mind. The adjustment at home from two boys to one was extremely difficult for Kristine and I. But after more than a year and a half it seems pretty normal just having Jordan home. Having Matthew home is now the exception not the rule, so when it happens it's more of an "event." We are all so looking forward to having him home for the summer. He's a terrific kid, kind, funny, thoughtful... his mom and I raised him well. Whatever he decides to do in life I'm sure he'll be successful. Miss you Matthew.
