He left. And then he came back.
In the midst of it all, we survived on wholesome, fresh food an the stuff from back of the freezer. We wrote notes to say how we missed him and we FaceTime'd every night. We counted sleeps 'til he came back - even the that were nights so disrupted it felt as if no one slept at all.
He returned a conquered hero... all airport flu bug and Greenwich Mean Time lagged.
Soup was made and blankets fetched.
We hope he really comes home tomorrow.
