Experience

While I appreciate this time spent home alone in that it forced me to look inwards, I can't wait for everyone to come home so I can live again. Introspection is all well and good but if you can't connect with the real world and experence life, why are you living? A co-worker came in and I mentioned that I was missing my family and he commented that he was single and doesn't have that problem. If I were single I probably wouldn't have noticed being alone as much, but the contrast between having them around all the time and being completely alone at home is very isolating. I don't need anyone to be able to live my life and live it well, but I do need others to make my live full and to make it better than it can be by myself. I've come to rely on my wife and kids to complete me and life is so very empty without them.
