Navy Dads

late at night

0030 in the morn, wife and son are asleep, the only sounds are house sounds and the dog snoring.... By now Id usually have hollered at my daughter for not shuttin down the computer, she'd angrily stomp down stairs and plugged in the computer to recharge overnight, we'd have a conversation on some book or stupid cartoon one or both of us would seen, comic book conventions coming up....Its wasnt a healthy pattern, conversations of grades school and life in general devolved in to donny brooks.... But now I sorta understand what people mean when thier wives die or divorce them..... I still try to have conversations with her, I 'll knock on her door and as my knuckles are hitting the door remember... she's in boot...... the house is quiet.... sounds are missing...

Im hoping for at least 1 good one, the extra one will be the favor of the gods, besides as long as you get a good picture you can adjust with a good photo editing program.... Hobby of mine taking bad pics and saving them....

hey, clay. its been awhile. i totally understand what you r going through. many nights i have find myself standing in her room, listening for the sound of her breathing. I've done that since she was born. as my heart starts to race because i dont hear her, i have to remind myself that she's at her school. doing outstanding, if i may say so. we really dont realize how much we love and worry about them until they are gone.
