My Dad is not home
He left work a hour ago
Me and momma worry so

My Dad is not home
He has not called
He has not come home
Where could he be
He worries us

Cold hands means a warm heart

This one echoes in me. I've known this worry, and it's not a small one. Told from the child's point of view makes it even more powerful.

Been there...
what a yucky feeling...
worried...
angry...
sad...
disillusioned, sometimes.
If my son could put into words the way this worry made him feel...maybe his father would be more prompt with his visitations.

The worry just grates on you , doesn't it...
When we're kids we worry about our parents
and when we're parents we worry about our kids....
and then when our kids grow up and have kids of their own...we worry about our kids, our grandkids and our parents...again

Lots of feelings in this very tender piece
of your heart...I hope all is well...I know
how terrible it feels to worry, when you
just don't know what is happening but hope
so much that all is OK..
