Missing Tina–Already…
A little introduction to who we are. I am Paula, my partner is Tina, and our daughter is Imani. Imani is 4 yrs old and an amazing child. Tina and Imani are my inspiration and my life. I am truly the luckiest person in the world to have such beauty in my life.
Tina left today for Spain and Portugal. She will be gone for 10 days. I miss her horribly. I spoke with my mom earlier today and she said vacations/breaks are good for relationships. She is probably right in her wisdom, but I can’t help feeling that flutter in the pit of my stomach. That flutter is my own insecurity—please, please, don’t let anything bad happen while Tina is away. The last time she went out of town, I got into a car accident, very minor, but still a car accident. Tina and I have been together for 10 yrs now. Pretty cool. We have a full, busy life right now. I can’t wait until it slows down a little. This is the first time Tina has been out of the U.S. or Canada. What amazing things she will see, touch, smell, taste, and hear. I wish I could experience this with her. Someday, soon.
Imani will miss Momma too. She woke up this morning asking for Tina. Where is she?!? When I explained (for the hundredth time), Imani responded by asking the typical, “Is momma going to bring me a surprise?” Tina promised her a big surprise. She promised me one too. I wonder what I am going to get?!?
I missed you soo much during this time and I was always think I wish that you and Imani could be with me to experience what I experienced. I love you and hope that you like my comments.
You have a beautiful family. My partner and I also have a little girl named Imani (not quite 4). We also have a not quite 2 year old named Nia. We thought the name Imani was so rare, but find it everywhere these days.
