It seems here lately I have really been touched by music in special way. I was listening to Brandon Heath's "London". I really mean listening too. I found myself in the place of the singer. The song spoke of a person in London. Who knows why but I would assume it would be the singer leading an event. While he is there he goes site seeing but although the sites are everything he thought it still felt empty. The song goes on to explain that his loved one was still at home (probably the states).
WOW I thought! I have felt that very thought many times. Over the years God has sent me many places. I have been to Europe and strolled the streets of Krakow before a mission in Wisla. I have been to Arizona seen the beauty of the dessert. I have been to the Grand Canyon 3 times and took in the majesty of it all. The list goes on and on. When I have been I took it all in BUT I missed someone. It is the very one that I want witness all these things with the most. I know she doesn't mind but I still miss her terribly. The hole I feel on this trips sometimes seem as big as the Grand Canyon.
The calls home I try to describe things to Buffy that I am taking in. The words can't even compete with her being there with me.
Now I am not trying to be morbid or depressing. I know God has got me on those missions for his purpose and that Buffy supports me 100 percent. I enjoy them and have really be changed by what God has showed me. I have loved every minute of it. Also I do miss my kids very much too. But this post is about the sacrifice my wife makes for her husband.
Buffy misses the mission work, children's faces, sites and all that I have seen. I just know that if She was there taking it in with me it would be great. Some day it will be but the time isn't now. The kids are getting older and we will be able to leave them for longer times with relatives. But for right now when those wheels of the airplane hit home ground I feel more complete. Because I am close to the one I love the most on this earth.
I love you Buffy...

You are wonderful husband and I love you with my entire being. I support your ministry and will stay back and hold down the fort, which is my calling right now. I hate it when you are gone, but totally understand at the same time.
