Warning: Mushy

I worked a very long day today. In total I had just over an hour with my children. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does I miss them terribly. I am so happy they exist. I might have to start carrying their pictures in my wallet so that I can stare at them on the train ride home. Sometimes, when I am in a crowd of people all alone I feel a bit like a woman in disguise.
“The other people on this train,” I often think to myself, “have no idea that I am a mother because the kids are safe at home. They have no idea that I am not just another tired person at the end of a long day. They do not know the treasures I have asleep in their beds.”
It is my lovely little secret on the anonymous ride home.
