Home alone as the night gets longer, I lay down with my phone waiting for your call. Our daughter asks, "mom where is daddy?" He's working baby he wil be home soon... I tuck in our two beautiful kids and give them a kiss on the forehead, Yet another night with out my husband and pray to God please keep him safe and our marrige strong. 

So happy to be with the family even my  husband is here.  I hear my daughter call out daddy daddy Santa was here, he runs down the stairs holding our little boy in his arms so dear.  His face is also lit with emotion to see Santa was here.  We open our gifts the kids are so excited, I look at my husband and say my most very best gift is that you are still here.  Just as We are so ecited to spend Christmas day, the phone rings and I just think not again.  Off he goes to give back the power, so all those families can be together with each other.  I cry to myself in feelings of lonelyness. 

My husband is a lineman that I am very proud of. I pray that he is safe and comes back to hug us.  The years go by and he misses out on a lot , but when it comes to his family he really rocks, aside from being the very best he can be, for his job, PG&E.  He is the best husband, the best dad.  I guess that means a lot.  Honey I am so proud of what you do... but when you see me crying please don't tell me to stop.  I have to let out all the emotions I feel because I love you much.  I just want you close and near all day, and I hate to see you always so far away, so when you are out there in the cold, remember that your family needs you more than you ever will know, you are our hero and our Love and with out you we wouldn't be us.  So be safe and pray everynight with us that God will keep you and your crew safe.   

Thank you for all that you do, we love you so much.
