sigh
I called my god daughter tonight. It made me smile to talk to her, and hear about all the things that are going on in her life. After I got off the phone with her, I had a hard time not breaking down and bawling. I'm missing all the things that are going on in her life.
I'm trying to get used to the idea that I'm staying in Alabama for a while... potentially a long while. There's no new businesses moving into Dayton, and all the old, big ones are leaving, or just closing down. My job down here, while belittling and unfulfilling, is at least paying the bills (mostly.) Add to that the fact that I got in on the ground floor and am currently in the running for a salaried management position (pray for me, but don't hold your breath), and I could be down here for years more.
And try as I might, I can't get past all the things I'm missing back home.
enough whining... I think I'll go snuggle with my wife now.
