Homecoming

I had been dreaming of my homecoming. I could not wait to see the boys, to see the looks on their faces, and to hug the little monsters.

When I finally got home, it was all I had dreamed and more. Tracy and the boys met me at baggage claim. I got there first. I saw them walk in, Tracy holding Owyn and Rhys like a hunting dog on a scent.

Rhys saw me. He stopped. His face lit up. His smile stretched from ear to ear. He yelled "DADDY, daddy, daddy!!!!" and ran towards me with his arms out. He flew into my arms and glued himself to me.

I heard Owyn, "Daddeee!" He ran up and threw himself at me too. I had not expected this. I did not know if he would miss me. I stood up with both boys in my arms, hugging me as tightly as they could. Glued to me.

At some point I got to hug Tracy too. It took awhile. Both boys have been attached to me ever since I got back. Owyn has become much more of a daddy's boy now.

It's good to be home.
