Its been a crazy couple of months. I don't quite know where the time went except that it was largely at the office working. With my wife and baby back in KL and me in Bombay, I have had much time to focus on work and also had the much needed time to get a grip on my overwhelming workload and have a sense of control once again.
Having said that, coming home to an empty house with no wife to greet you and no baby laughter in the hall seems like a meaningless existence. It reminds me a little of how I was when I was single. Lots of time to do all the things I want but unable to derive any pleasure or joy out of it simply because you know your heart isn't there.
While I am thankful for the quiet time I had to get my self in order, I am glad that I am back with my wife and daughter for now. For now when I am with them, I do give them my attention. My mind is not away thinking of how will I be able to handle tomorrow and it is focused more on the here and now. I am thankful for my time away from them not just for the space I needed to get a grip of my life, but more for the opportunity it gave me to appreciate just how much my wife and daughter mean to me.
A child does teach you much about your self and a wife helps remind you on what is truly important in life. I am blessed to have both of them.
