Deep Down, I'm really a sentimental sap
I'm in Atlanta right now, working with my boss, discussing and developing the last stages of this one project which really needs to end.
While here, I'm spending the nights at my parents, as I usually do, since they're only 15 minutes from work. Last night I got to see the whole family, including my sister and her husband, who are expecting their firstborn in February. It's a strange experience seeing my little sister 7 months pregnant and knowing she'll be a mother soon. But it's a good thing, and I'm really happy for both of them and excited to see their baby come.
Seeing the rest of my family is also good, of course. I get to do things like pick on my little brother, who is almost my size, talk theology with my dad, and catch up on life with my mom and other brother.
At the same time, I miss my wife who is back in Baltimore. My parents have some of my wedding pictures on the table next to the bed in their spare bedroom. So I can see her and remember that she's not here with me, and that I'll be spending the night all by myself: cold and lonely. Sigh....
