This is one of my favorite pics of daley….it is totally “him”….in true form…..with the love of his life by his side…..he is on the road again……and won’t be back for a while….even though we talk quickly everyday…..it is not the same as him being home…..even though my life is full of taking care of the other five men in my life (six if I count Rob)…..it still feels funny & a little empty when he’s not around…..i miss him…..the way he straggles into the house in the morning and says “hey mom, how are you today” kisses me and then takes the longest showers ever…..hearing earth-shattering electric guitar sounds from the garage……making him breakfast…..watching him leave in his old beater Geo down the street on his way to starbucks, practice or a photoshoot…..hearing him walk/stomp through the house at 1:00 am in his boots…..to let me know he’s home safe…..what happend to my little boy…..mostly i miss the late night talks about what’s happening in his life…..where he hopes to go…..what he struggles with…..pictures he took that day…..a new band he likes…….i miss staring into those beautiful brown eyes that you get lost in…..trying to figure out what’s going on in that wild-haired head of his…..i love you dale….i’m proud of who you are…..and even more proud of where you want to go…..and that you don’t always do it perfectly….because that’s ok….welcome to being an adult…..sigh
