Harry was hardly ever home. He was always off to some other country to focus on his music. And no, I'm not trying to get him to stop doing what he loves because it's wrong. But i just wish that he would spend a little more time at home with me and his son, Mason. Since Mason was born in 2014, Harry was hardly ever around. And now that he is on break, it's like he is still with the band and always at work with new music and touring. In my opinion, does he really need to go to all these amazing places just so he can write music?

Mason was playing with his toys in the living room while I was in the kitchen cooking dinner.
It still amazes me how I can now cook food without having to look at a cook book or a YouTube video. Not only that but having Harry help my out with the cooking. I've come so far that I can do everything by myself. I still remember the first time Harry tried to teach me how to cook. Like i said, TRIED to teach me. It didn't end up so good. I nearly burned the house and the meat was all burnt to a crisp.
I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't even hear my phone ringing. I only came back to my senses because Mason had called out to me. "Mom! Phone!"
"Oh crap! Thanks Mason!" I ran out of the kitchen and into the living room to pick up my phone.
I didn't even look at the caller id because I didn't want to miss this phone call.
"Hello?" I questioned.
"Hey, babe!" Harry's voice sounded from the other end.
"Harry, hi! How are you?" I asked, my mood changing instantly.
"I'm good you know, just writing songs here and there. How's Mason?" He asked.
"You Can ask him yourself since he's right here." I said as i crouched down to Mason's level.
"Put him on the phone." He said.
"Mason, it's Daddy." I said as I gave him the phone.
"Hi, Daddy!" Mason said.
"Hi, Mason! How are you doing?" He asked.
"Good. I miss you, Daddy." Mason said while still playing with his toy cars.
"That's good kiddo, and I miss you too." He said.
"When are you coming home?" He asked.
I heard Harry cough a little and he said, "Pass me to Mommy, Mason."
"Okay, bye, Daddy. I love you." He said.
My heart melted at his words. "Daddy loves you too."
I pulled the phone back into my ear. "I swear my heart melts every time he says that."
"So do i." Harry said.
"So, why didn't you answer Mason's question? Harry you know he misses you and really wants to see you." I said.
"I know buts it's just. I don't think that I'll be able to make it to his birthday party tomorrow." He said.
"What? Harry, you can't do this to Mason!" I walked out of the room and went to the backyard. "He hasn't seen you in a month, Harry! You can't just bail on him now! Especially when it's going to be his birthday!"
"Babe, i know! But it's about my second tour. I need to meet with my manager so we can book the dates! You know that I'm almost going back on tour." Harry said.
"Since your first tour it doesn't even feel like you finished it." I said and hung up.
I was so mad. I get it, Harry's job is important and it's something he loves to do. But he has more priorities now. He has a son for crying out loud! Mason needs a father figure in his life and Harry being away for too long is not helping!
I don't even know what to tell Mason when he starts to notice that Harry isn't showing up to his birthday party.

The day went by so slow and Mason kept on asking when Harry was going to arrive. I didn't want to hurt him so I kept telling him soon.
Throughout his party he was distracted thanks to his friends. But he comes by every hour to ask if Harry arrived. I just kept telling him no. And with every no, i could see how hurt he was.
Mason is barely 5 years old and he doesn't deserve to be feeling the way he is feeling right now. It hurts me too knowing that Mason is hurting.
Before cutting the cake, Mason came up to me and asked if Harry arrived yet, again.
"No, sweety. Um..." I didn't know what to tell him. I didn't want him to be sad, but either way he would be sad later on when the party is over and Harry didn't even show up at all!
"Sorry, Daddy's flight was delayed." I looked up and saw Harry walk in with a boxed up birthday present.
"Daddy!" Mason yelled and ran up to him and hugged him.
Harry hugged him back and started to kiss his little head.
"But... I thought.." I started but Harry cut me off by putting up his finger, indicating me to hold up.
He set Mason down and told him to go play with his friends and that he will play with him shortly. Mason nodded his head and ran off.
"Look, I was thinking about what you said to yesterday and you were right. I haven't really been home since my first tour and I know that, I fucked it badly." Harry said.
I nodded my head, "Yeah, you did. But I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to keep you from your job. I know how much this means to you, but we have a child now Harry. We have priorities more bigger than your job."
"I know. Which is why I'm going to start doing more of work at home. That way I can still work and hang out with you two. Just, please forgive me." Harry said as he walked up to me and put both his on my arms.
I sighed and I looked up at him, "I forgive you, but only because you are going to spend more time with us now."
He smiled and kissed me. I smiled too, feeling the warmth from his lips. "I've missed you, Harry."
"I've missed you too." Harry said.
"What about me?" We both turn around and see Mason standing there with his arms crossed and a pouty face.
"Don't worry, I missed you too." Harry said and picked him up, hugging him.

Quick story!
So yesterday my female bird, Blue died 😢 I was so sad and I didn't just want to throw her away so I put her in a box and buried her in my backyard. And Gizmo, the male bird, was left alone and I didn't want to release him because I know that he won't survive on his own since he is not meant for the wild, but either way my mom still set him free and we were left birdless. But today, my friend decided to buy me two new birds to replace the ones we lost and I'm so grateful for what he did. Because honestly, losing them was hard because we've had them for 10 months and I was so used to having them around. Also the only reason why he was able to them for me is because we skipped school🙃 not like it's a big deal for us because we go to independent studies and we are only at school for three hours so that's why it didn't really matter. But now, we have two new birds and I can't wait to tell my dad because he's a work and doesn't know that we have new ones only my mom cause I called her telling her that he bought us new ones🥰
