Wishing to always be there

This song by John Anderson is about a trucker missing important moments in the life of his children due to his job and wishing he was there.

While I'm not a trucker, this song is certainly applicable to those of us who have jobs that take us away from our family for long periods of time.  No amount of preparation time can prepare my family or me for the separation.  It is my duty, but the sacrifice is shared by my family. 

I'll be home as soon as I can.  It will be a while, but my family will always be on my mind and in my prayers.  I look forward to hearing all the stories of things that happened while I was gone.  I wish I could have been there.
