For a few years I've been having lunch or dinner with my son and his family every week. He was a stay-at-home dad we had lunch mid week. After he joined the ranks of the employed, his "weekend" was Wednesday and Thursday so we would have dinner every Wednesday or Thursday. His wife missed having him at church with her and I'm sure he missed going to church as well. Anyway, his request for a Monday through Friday shift was finally approved, but the hours are 11 am - 8 pm, so no more weekly dinners and no time to have lunch either. My son and his wife are social creatures with many friends, so they inevitably have weekends full of committments to go somewhere or attend something. I am going to miss our weekly get togethers and the time I got to spend with him, his wife and my granddaughters. It's funny how these little things can mean so much.
