i always will

I tried really hard to sneak out for work this morning.  My littles found me, of course.  With their sleepy eyes, blankets, and night nights.

I kiss them both, say goodbye for work.

Nate stops and says, "You'll come back?"

Let those words settle on your heart... I have a multitude of answers.  I'll always come back.  I'll always find you.  I would climb the highest mountain and fight the largest monster.  I would sail through a storm and drive through a hurricane.

But all I could choke out at 6:15 am, was yes.  I always will.
