Missing My Baby

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. Soon after our trip back to Utah, one of our co-workers was killed in a car accident. My grandma's and uncle's death were expected and I was not surprised. However, when Sherri died I was in complete shock. In one instant she was gone. I know that there is a higher purpose in her passing. She was such a sweet and loving lady. The last time I saw her she made sure to give me a hug and thank me. I learned a lot from her. We all miss her in the office.

The day I found out about the tragic accident I had a really hard time. I broke down that morning. Life just felt overwhelming and all I wanted to do was hold my baby instead of dropping her off at the sitter's house. I miss her a lot during the day at work.

But my other co-worker taught me a good lesson. She reminded me that it is good to miss your baby. It is good to miss loved ones when we are away. It just reminds you how much you love them.

While there are many benefits of going back to work, I was actually surprised at how hard it would be. I miss my baby a lot. It is getting easier with time, but it is amazing how much that little ball of joy changes your life and your priorities.
