Come home

"Have they found Papa yet?"  Bobo asks.
Yet...it means they will, right?

My dad is missing.
I vacillate between complete grief and a disbelief dream.

How is this possible.
The call came this morning.
He was hiking in Maui, supposed to return last night, and did not come home.

Deveraux said she was supposed to go climbing rocks with Papa....
she loves to climb and I had told her papa and her would go. 
She said if they don't go here, they will climb rocks in heaven.

We are all waiting.
Where is he?
Where are you dad?
This is not supposed to be....
We are not ready

I just want to talk with him.  I just want to hear his voice.  I just want to pick up the phone and just touch base,  I did call his cell phone to tell him I love him, to tell him I am sorry I haven't emailed him recently  I feel so guilty about that.  And yet, I know he knew.

Deveraux said, "It is not a normal day without Papa."

I just keep praying,
He loved Earthbound farm...(the pictures). 
He loved reading this blog.

Come home dad is all I can pray.  Come home.
Deveraux gave me this note:
"Dear Mama, I know how scare it feel to be missing your dada and
then he is missing sometimes.  I ask a lot of questions when I am
sad.  Jesus is with him. "
Love, Deveraux 
Amen!
