It happens at the strangest times.   Well, I guess strange isn’t the right word.   I guess maybe random is a better word.   The Husband has been gone for two months now.

So today “it” caught me off card. It, of course refers to how much I miss him.  Like many people I have different ringers on my cell phone for different people. When my sister calls, it plays, “We are Family.” When my niece or my mom friends call, it plays “The Wonder Pets” theme song. And when the Husband calls it plays, “Good Morning Beautiful” which was our first dance song at our wedding reception.

Yes, it’s sappy. But it makes me smile every time I hear it. It’s been a good two months now since I’ve heard it.  It’s really strange to go from hearing it at least once a day to never hearing it.

Now I know he is gone and I know that my father-in-law is using the Husband’s cell phone while he is gone. {We are trying to convince FIL that it’s good to have a cell phone, so before taking the plunge himself, he is “testing” out the Husband’s).

As I was hanging out with the Little One while the Big One is a preschool, my phone started playing, “Good Morning Beautiful.”

I can’t explain it very well other than to say, my heart skipped a beat and my face began to smile. It was a nice, but bittersweet moment.

It took just a split second for my smile to fade and change to worry though, because I knew that it meant FIL was calling and I also know that the Husband’s Grandpa is having surgery today.  Fortunately he just had a silly question for me. And Grandpa is just now being prepped for surgery.
