This is all so true and I agree with everything you say. We have it a bit more challenging I'm afraid. My husband goes away very often for at least two weeks at a time, and sometimes as little as 5 days at home, so needless to say the time spent together is time recovering from one trip and getting ready for the next and also getting as much daddy and son time in as possible. These are just more problems you might be thinking, but here is our solution. We make a point of it to take at least one day out of the time that he is home and we make it a special day. We postponed Christmas twice and ended up having it half way through January, but the tree was up and we opened presents and had the whole lunch thing. The same will happen with Valentines day. He won't be here on that exact date but who cares. Every day is what you make of it and regardless of the date you can make it what you want it to be. We hardly ever have our birthdays on the correct date as we need to find ways to work around our hectic lifestyles. And it's so true, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I hope this doesn't sound too crazy but it works for us! Hi Gina! This is all so true and I agree with everything you say. We have it a bit more challenging I’m afraid.

I hope this doesn’t sound too crazy but it works for us!
