Hubby went on a business trip and took 6yo since he was going through my parents town. I have missed both of them. I'm used to hubby going on trips and still miss him, but it was a different feeling to miss 6yo. He was gone two full days and one night. I can’t imagine the empty feeling one must feel when they know a child will not return because of death. A mother shares so much of herself with her children that it almost seems as though the child takes a part of her with them where ever they go. This is a good thing. It means that the child will always have his mother’s love to rely on even when apart and it means the mother lived and truly experienced joy and Christ-like love.
3yo has really missed 6yo and keeps asking when he will be back periodically throughout the day. Mothers love when their children love each other.
I must go 1yo and 3yo are upstairs doing that laugh that you know they must be upto something...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! My DH has a new job that will require travel, and travel to the town where the IL's live. He's talked about bringing J who will be six this month along when that is the case.
How fun! I think it serves two purposes. One is that dh and ds get some alone time and the other is that when they are gone you have one less child to take care of and the other children get more attention and it isn't as hard. Let me know how his first trip works out. My son loved it and felt really special.
