I Miss Having Rhianna Around

This weekend we shipped the boys off to my sisters for the weekend and had a weekend on our own.

We went to our friends in the evening for a BBQ which was lovely, we saw friends we haven’t seen for a while, we had a drink, we chilled and we knew the boys were fine. We played with our friends girls and just had a good time.

We got in late, we slept in late, and for the rest of Sunday we chilled, until we went to collect the boys from my sister at tea time.

It was when we were driving down that he said it.

Completely out of the blue.

Just a passing comment that was like a bolt of lightning.

I know it obviously.

But I wasn’t expecting it.

He never talks about it.

He never makes those kind of comments.

In fact he hardly ever talks about his feelings.

Always ‘holding it together’ for all of the rest of us.

But he obviously feels it

Tries to not show it but then things remind him

Like playing a game with a girl and not a boy

Remind him of the different relationship he would have, should have with Rhianna Lily

A more protective

Gently relationship

No rough and tumble

No wrestling

Just a more gentle relationship

A protective

A special dad and daughter relationship

That special bond

That bond that never goes never gets broken

And he has it

Off course he has it

But it will never grow as she grows

He can’t show it every day

He can’t hug her every day

He can’t protect her every day

And he doesn’t say a lot

But when he does, it is a statement so strong

So huge that it includes all the above feelings

Just a simple

“I miss having Rhianna around”

Nothing more needs to be said
