Quiet Hour

While Alexa watched her second and final television show of the day (SuperWhy) and started to wind down for the night, I should have been folding laundry or packing for our upcoming trips to St. Louis and Monterey.  Instead, I found myself sitting on the edge of the couch, blankly staring at the wall as my mind raced with thoughts of Grant.  He was always wide-awake around Alexa's bedtime, so the hour from 8:30-9:30 was usually one of quality bonding time with Granty.  Tonight was just another one of those nights where his absence hits like a ton of bricks and leaves a palpable void.  The treadmill, laundry and work just don't fill that hour like my one-on-one time with Granty did.  It was truly one of the highlights of my day.

Putting Alexa to bed and getting ready for our quality 1:1 time....
