We do what we must....

Dear Monkey,

Everyday, but some days more than others, I miss you when I leave you to go to work. I always feel that you are getting jipped by not getting to see Daddy and I as much as you probably want to. Trust me Buddy; we wish the very same thing. Today was one of those days. It is very hard to work when I think of you and wonder what you are doing.

Unfortunately, we both need to work to keep a roof over our head, food in our tummys and health insurance in case we get sick. These things are very important to keep you healthy and strong. But know that when we are home with you; we love to play, go to fun places and be with you.

My wish is that someday you will look at your childhood and remember how Mommy taught you how to make cookies or daddy playing animals on the living room floor (and how his piggy is the best). It is our goal to give you every experience we can so your childhood is the best ever.

So Mommy and Daddy both have to work. Someday you will learn that some Mommies or Daddies get to stay at home with their kids and play all day. You may be a little jealous. Remember this my little guy, we are working for the good of all of us. Be proud of your Mommy and Daddy because what we do we do for you.

But always know that deep down it breaks our heart to leave you to work - even if you are happy when we go.

Love,
Mommy
