We're just trying to go home to see the kids

But the universe does not seem to give a flying fuck about our simple wish. Parent hats should have been on at 430PM today. But did the world care? No. It had better, bigger, uncompromising plans (it thinks so). I am not the world. We are not the world. Our world is two hours away from home, two kids who look like their dad and whose smiles and shrieks make me want to hope for hope. I cannot hold them tonight. Why must we always wait? Why must they always wait.

Business as usual. Tomorrow will hopefully be a better day.
