Skype Saves the Day

Greysen and I are together every other week through the summer.  I find it extremely difficult mid-week to find my grounding while he's gone. Everything seems off; maybe it hits me that we still have another half week to go before we see each other. Usually by Wednesday we get to Skype or talk on the phone. This week we Skyped and it was so sweet.

Greysen: Mama, it feels like 12,000 eons since we saw each other.
Me: Yes, when you really miss someone, it always feels longer than it really is.
Greysen: Yeah, especially when you love someone.
Me: Yes, and I do love you.
Greysen, with his head in his hands: Yes, and I do love you too.

And with that, I felt better. Although we know our kids love us, hearing it makes all the difference.
