Missing those days

I just came across an old picture of me and my wife when we were still dating. It is a close up of us. She came up behind me and wrapped her arms around me. You can see that she has a long sleeve white T-shirt under her Urlacher jersey. I am smiling, tilting my head back and she is leaning forward so we touch cheeck to cheek. Her beautiful blue eyes staring right at the camera. 

I miss those days. Working three jobs is taking its toll on me. And the caretaking job we both share is such an energy hog that I don’t even feel like i have come home to my family, but home to work. . .more. 

I am constantly tired. I’m easily frustrated and irritated even at the silly things my wife does that made me smile in the picture. And I want to see more pictures like that which include my 14 month old daughter with my wife and me or just me and my wife or just me and my daughter.

I am worn out to tears. I feel like I’m missing the joy of my family.
