Please

I can't believe its been a whole week since you left.

I miss you and I need you. The kids need you. You can't leave us.  You just can't.  I admit it was all my fault.  If you come back, things will be different. 

I promise from now on, no more pushing you away.  No more coffee before bed. The TV in the bedroom is gone.  I promise to be in my bed every night ready and willing for you.  Please. 

How did it come to this?  I know we have had our ups and downs and I used to push you away for days on end.  I am so sorry I ever said you were for idiots.  I didn't mean it.  You did not deserve that.  I never really appreciated everything you did for me until I was pregnant with my oldest child.  Prior to that I was so mean to you. I worked nights just so I could avoid you. I didn't need you then. But I do now. Please.

What about the kids? Have you thought about what your absence is doing to them? I will tell you what it doing to them, its turning them into some sort of devil spawn.  They need you probably much more then I do. I am used to you being gone, they are not.  They are innocent.  What am I supposed to tell them? They don't understand.  Its me that has to explain to them at 3am why you are gone. What about the baby?  How can you leave a helpless baby? The baby used to be so delightful and happy.  Now she is a quivering, fussy mass of teething misery.  She really needs you.  Please.

I don't know what more I can say, except that we will probably loose our minds if you don't come back soon.  I promise to be welcoming. We will do whatever you need us to do, just please please come back.  Don't leave us now when we need you the most.

 I am really begging on my knees. I am pleading with you, my darling, my baby, my wonderful sleep please come back soon.

Who did you think I meant?
