Defining a Duty

An obligation has called me away from where I most want to be. My situation is not like being drafted into an army. It is not like being deployed out of the country. I am, however, forced to be over one hundred and eighty miles from my month old baby and my beloved and devoted wife. I am not able to see our child grow. I hear the baby's neck muscles are strengthening but I am not there to see it. I hope I am back by the time the infant starts to crawl. I love them my wife and baby so very much. I miss them more than words can describe.
