How it can hurt to be a parent

As I mentioned before, Shawn and I email back and forth throughout the day to keep in touch. After getting in very late with Reilly last night (2:30am), Shawn sent me this email today:

"Baby still sleeping. She keeps asking where you are. I told her you had to work today, and then in that same sentence I said that I would be working today and that she would need to find something fun to play with. She got so weepy and said something to the effect of: "Daddy's at work, and you'll go to work, and then I'll be here by myself." It was so heartbreakingly sad. I had to convince her that we would never leave her by herself. Poor little girl. So grown up yet such a little thing at the same time."
