I went in to work tonight.  I felt so bad because I could hear Harrison crynig as I shut the door.  I called my wife on the way to tell her a few things, and I could still hear him crying.  I love my son so much; it's undescribeable.  I guess this is just my way of saying good night to him.

Harrison,

I know you were sad when I left for work tonight.  I know I usually don't leave at this time, but I couldn't pass up on the opportunity.  I just want you to know it is all for you.  The extra time I spend at work goes towards all I'm trying to do for you.  I want to give you every opportunity in the world, and sometimes, you have to make sacrifices for that to happen, which is why I had to leave for work tonight.  I know you don't understand.  I know the only thing you did understand is that daddy left when he usually plays with you.  You are the most important little boy in the world to me, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.  Yes, I would much rather spend the time with you, but tonight that just couldn't happen.  We will play tomorrow.  We will laugh tomorrow.  We will give each other hugs tomorrow.  For all this, I look forward to tomorrow because it will involve you.  I'm thinking about you tonight, so sleep easy.  Daddy will be there when you wake up.

Love,

Daddy

p.s.  Thank you for singing "Happy Birthday" to me this afternoon even though it's not until February!!
