Only 5 Minutes

So this will be quick. I left the house this morning and CJ was asleep. I even slept later because I knew I would be at work late tonight and she did not budge. So I said a prayer, kissed her and Mommy, and went about my business.

I did not even get a chance to call home today due to my busy schedule at work. I did manage to read a text Mommy sent which prompted me to call home briefly but I had to speak quick because I was off to another function.

When I returned home after making a few stops for CJ, a baby has to have milk and pampers, I saw that she was still awake. She was in the crib though. So I asked Mommy if she would mind (terribly) me picking her up. Between her teeth, she said no(I know she wanted to tell me Yes!). So I picked her up and kissed and hugged her. She did not even let off a smile. Mommy said it was a rough day and I think she was too tired to respond in her normal CJ way.

So I gave her back to Mommy and completed all my nightly duties before laying down. Prayerfully we get more than 5 minutes together tomorrow. I missed her today and I was around a lot of people who asked about her which always makes it worse. So as I finish up, pray my headache goes away, and pray for CJ and Daddy to get more father/daughter time. We all know prayer changes things, people, and situations.
