My sweet husband works so hard, and I know that even know it is challenging for us with his travel schedule - it is really tough for him also. Sometimes I lose sight of that. Sometimes he travels to 3 cities/week and is constantly on the road, up early, in airports late - not fun. Thankfully he actually enjoys the work - so that helps him get through the week. We miss him so much and look forward to our precious time together with him.
Each week he asks me to send him some photos of me and little Luke - who he calls Roo - short for Roonie - which is short for Muncharoonie. (Don't even ask me how or where this nickname came from but it fits...) I try to send him some each week. Here is today's pic - a particularly good one b/c Luke is actually looking.
Whether your husband travels for work, works late late hours, or just is "on call" to work 24/7 - work/life balance can be tough. I look at it in this way... I am very attracted to ambitious people - guess that is because I was raised with very ambitious parents and grandparents. Ambitious people are usually hard-working and tend to be the leaders in the their industry - in my opinion. With that, comes the longer hours, challenging work schedules, etc... Extreme ambition can be a double-edged sword at times... but in the end I would not want to be with a person who is happy just settling for mediocracy. Ben is so ambitious, hard-working and successful at his work. I appreciate that about him so much- even if I struggle with his work schedule at times (particularly the weeks I only see him for 36 hours!)
Thankfully I have a hubby who LOVES his family and wants to spend every free minute of his ambitious self with us. Love you baby! Keep up all the hard work. We love and appreciate you.
