Tonight I'm sitting in a hotel room, in Richmond for oral arguments, and I realized that this is the longest I've ever been away from you. Three nights, plus all day tomorrow. What has existed as a throbbing ache all week is threatening to seep out of my pores. I miss you so greatly. I can only talk about you, or look at photos of you, so much. After a point, it doesn't help. It's as if I'm missing a limb. My sweet girl.
This morning I talked to you on the phone. You recognized my face and voice, I think, and as I said goodbye, you said "bye" back to me. It broke me, your sweet high baby voice. You are growing up so fast, changing from a baby into a child.
Tomorrow I come home to you. You are my reasons.
