Respite

Gavin is having a sleep over at his Nana & Bapa’s house tonight. He's been very excited... He loves the time with his grandparents.
That means here at home we have one less at the dinner table. One fewer mouth of teeth to brush. One less bedtime story to read. One less goodnight hug to give and to receive.
It’s a little quieter here. The pace is a little slower. It’s amazing how different the dynamic.
It makes me think of a friend who’s experiencing the painful first days of a new dynamic in his life. My thoughts frequently drift back to him and his family.
Tomorrow the energy level will instantly rise when Gavin comes home. I’m looking forward to him being back, but for now I’m enjoying the quiet.
