my spouse is gone

My spouse, Phyllis, is now in Poland on a mission trip.  She has been gone a week and will be gone another week.  Finding myself alone has been a good experience for me.  I am learning that there is a lot of work that my wife does that I really don’t notice.  Dishes have to be done and clothes have to be cleaned.  On and on I could go listing the many activities that Phyllis does that are become more apparent to me.  I will be happy to see her again and to tell her that she was missed.  I guess the old saying is true that we don’t know what we have until it is taken from us.  My mom thinks it is not right for a spouse to go traveling without their spouse.  In my case I am learning many lessons by Phyllis being gone.  That does not mean I want her to be gone more but it does mean distance does indeed make the heart grow fonder.
