I've already shared much about my California trip, but I have to share the very best part- coming home! I love being with my family and they have been loving on me so much. Only the cat is indifferent. Usually, he is all over me when I return from trips, but apparently I stayed too long and he's quite miffed about it. No loves or rubs or anything for me until late this morning when he finally decided to forgive me just a little.
The crowning glory of my trip was something that my daughter told me today. She said, "Mom, I think Dad really missed you a lot. He just wasn't himself without you."
I can't tell you how much that warmed my heart. I know he loves me. I knew he would miss me some, but I didn't have any idea how much he missed me. The man stayed up to all hours of the night last night tracking my flights by Internet to see if I would make my connections okay since we were running behind schedule on everything. He knew I landed before I did for crying out loud! Do you think he was a little anxious for me to get home?
And this, friends, is the reason that sometimes leaving my family can be a very hard thing to do. We just kind of sort of really love each other to pieces.
Be it ever so humble, truly, there is no place like home!

Welcome home! There really is no place like home is there :).
What a heart warming post!
I'm glad your family missed you, and you missed them. This is so sweet.
God has truly blessed you with a good family. :)
That is why I do think sometimes it is good to leave. They cannot miss you if you are there - or realize your extreme worth. Some truth in absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I'm glad you're home, safe & sound.
How sweet to be loved like that...
