12 Days

How will I cope?
12 days is such a long time. Everyday I come rushing home to be with her. And while at work I, time does not pass by without me thinking of her. And now she'll be away for 12 days? What is a father to do?
My daughter Neva is leaving on Tuesday to visit her grandparents in Canada. She will be there for the next twelve days. 12 days that I will not see her smile, hear her cry, nor change her diapers. These are things that have been part of my life for the last two and a half months. And now, it will be quite here at home. Quite when I leave for work. Quiet when I get back.
12 days. I miss my baby already!
