Separation anxiety
My son is in France on a school trip, his first time abroad without us.
He is having a great time. I am finding it harder than I expected.
Whenever I am away, I know that he misses me terribly. Now I am getting a taste of that feeling myself.
He comes home this evening. The last time I saw him was in the early hours of Wednesday morning, and it already feels like weeks ago. I cannot wait to see him and to hear about his adventures.
Over the coming months, I will be travelling to race tracks to cover various championships. I will go, do my work, and come straight back home again.
Home is where the heart is. My family means everything to me, especially when love makes absence feel this loud.
