Anyone else ever find themselves staring off into space? How long have I been sitting here? What am I thinking of? Has anyone seen me looking lost and just walked away?
When I find myself lost in thought and then come back to reality, I usually have Daddy on my mind. I wonder what memory I was lost in... Was it a good memory? I am sure it was!
How much time is too much time to spend daydreaming? I think daydreaming is the perfect outlet. You are in the here and now, but yet you are in another reality. If you like your alternate reality enough, you can make it happen FOR REAL. Do you think that is how some of the best innovations came to be? I sure hope so, because I have some great dreams. I'm going to write a book, invent a new bathing suit, open a restaurant, become a carpenter, have a chauffeur... I get lost just typing this!
I think about what it would be like if Daddy was still alive. I think about this ALL THE TIME! I would love to see him with my babies. Oh how they would love him! I can't even imagine how much he would love them. Daddy used to tell me that he wished his Daddy had been alive to meet me. He knew that his Daddy would have loved me. He always had a distant look and a smile when he said it. It seems so strange that I say the same thing to my kids now! Mary Grace refers to him as Daddy Glenn. I used to tear up when ever I heard her say that, but now it is rather comforting. Mary Grace wants to go to heaven and see him. My heart just longs to be there when that happens (but not for another 100 years or so). Sailor is going to love him too! They would have been quite a pair on their birthday. She is extra special because she was born on his birthday, which happens to be his grandmother's birthday too. That is just a good day for our family. Maybe I will make 2 cakes this October! One for her and one for Daddy.
I have to stop thinking about this. I am all choked up, MAN!
ANYWAY, if you are reading this... don't be afraid to daydream. You will be in good company.
