Strange is all I can come up with. The last 3 years, our youngest was the only child home. He became my go-to guy. My person I could yell for "need tall person!" when I couldn't reach something. The one who understood when the 3rd person in the house was being ..... let's say unreasonable.
I have been busy since he's been gone. I was gone 1 1/2 days after he left for 6 days. Then the 3rd person in the house left the next day for a family reunion. He was gone for 5 days. We both are home for 5 days, but I leave tomorrow for 10 days.
Being busy helps.
My youngest sent me a text last week that made me smile. "I have had salad everyday so far. Proud?" Yes, I am. Not because he's actually eating pretty healthy, but the fact that he sent that to me.
Yesterday, while chatting in text via Skype, he said he was a bit homesick. That he missed seeing people. I wondered for a split second if I was one of those people.
But, I know. Yes I am.
