Having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night is a very old human need.
~Margaret Mead
I wonder why Maslow did not place that on top of the hierarchy of needs? Margaret, on the other hand, succinctly said it well.
I am glad that when I do come home from a long day at work, my son is always waiting for me. Although, on most nights during the week, I normally arrives home late and he’s already sound asleep. What normally pricks my heart is when the nanny would tell me that he fell asleep on the couch waiting for me. Now, that is a father and son relationship.
What I actually long now, especially this particular cold night pounding the keyboards of my laptop, in my empty office, is someone waiting and wondering what time should I be home and won’t eat unless I join her. Ahhhh! That is so frustrating to even think. Again, just another taunting thoughts.
