\n

A coal miner worked deep underground for months at a time and only got to visit home twice a year.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Every time he came back, his wife looked happier than a lottery winner and dragged him straight to the bedroom before he could even unpack.<\/p>\n

One evening, after another exhausting \u201cwelcome home,\u201d the miner collapsed into bed, gasping for air.<\/p>\n

His wife smiled and whispered,<\/p>\n

\u201cDarling\u2026 how do you still have this much energy after working in a mine all day?\u201d<\/p>\n

The miner grinned and said,<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause, sweetheart\u2026 I don\u2019t spend all day digging coal.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

She raised an eyebrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed toward the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of my job is operating machinery.\u201d<\/p>\n

She laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The miner smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides, there\u2019s something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been underground for six months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n

He whispered,<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you have any idea how much fresh air I\u2019ve been saving?\u201d<\/p>\n

His wife burst out laughing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really missed me, didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

The miner pulled her closer.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single day.\u201d<\/p>\n

She smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when you were thousands of feet underground?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially then.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked at her lovingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause every time the work got exhausting, I thought about coming home.\u201d<\/p>\n

She kissed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that\u2019s where you got all your energy?\u201d<\/p>\n

He nodded.<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next morning, the miner woke up early.<\/p>\n

His wife looked at him suspiciously.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d<\/p>\n

He grabbed his boots.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

She frowned.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready?\u201d<\/p>\n

He smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry.\u201d<\/p>\n

He kissed her forehead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be back in six months.\u201d<\/p>\n

She smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n

He walked toward the door.<\/p>\n

Then she called after him,<\/p>\n

\u201cDarling?\u201d<\/p>\n

He turned around.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n

She grinned.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext time, bring more fresh air.\u201d<\/p>\n

He laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll bring a whole truckload.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as he drove away, he smiled to himself.<\/p>\n

Working deep underground was hard.<\/p>\n

But knowing someone was waiting for him above ground\u2026<\/p>\n

made every dark day worth it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
