Long enough

My father-in-law came to stay with us for 5 weeks. Long enough for him to not be a guest, instead he was just a memeber of the family. He was here long enough for the kids to expect him in the morning at breakfast and know to blow him kisses goodnight each evening.
He was around long enough to experience my full sepctrum of moods. Fatigue, joy, chill and gumpy. Long enough for me to get used to showering in peace, while he kept the kids busy. Long enough for me to enjoy the dishes getting washed while I put the kids to bed.
And now he is leaving. And it's going to be hard to get back to live without his company and help.
We will all miss Baba Ewew.
