8 Days

In 8 days my grocery bill will triple.

In 8 days my laundry will double.

In 8 days the noise in this house will move from silence to regular conversation.

In 8 days I will have to share the computer.

In 8 days I will have to consider his desires when choosing something on TV.

In 8 days he will make me laugh.

In 8 days he will tell me about his summer adventures.

In 8 days my joy will double.

In 8 days the love in this house will triple.

In 8 days he will hug me, if only reluctantly.

In 8 days, my boy comes home.
