Sometimes when I come home late from work, I will miss seeing my kids before they went to bed. What I will do is go in to check on them; I will go see my five year old son first since he might still be up, most times he is already sound asleep. I will sit with him for a few minutes then stroke and rub his head and kiss him goodnight. Then I will go see my 22 month old daughter in her room, she is always cutting a few logs by the time I see pretty little face. I will also stroke and rub her head along with running my fingers through her hair (she never wakes from this) and set with her for a bit and blow her a kiss and leave (she is in a crib and too low for me to get to her without waking her).
I will be a somewhat sad that I didnt get to see them but glad in the fact that they were with their mom (probably drove her to drink) when they finally went to bed and not with a baby sitter or something like that. I am also comforted by that fact that I am home as well and my family is safe and well.
