So, Brian's gone. The house is quiet, and I'm supposed to be cleaning the floors...something I can't do at 9PM when Brian's home. Kennedy has asked for her Dad more times than I can remember today. We called him once this morning, and she's picked up the phone more than once to call him again. She has told me she misses him, and it makes me sad. This time away will only be for a week and a half. I'm already worrying about September. We don't really know if we will have regular contact with him this week. We've never been without contact, so I'll be praying that we'll get to communicate.

More news on our week later......
