I decided not to send X. to daycare today. So, he came along with us to the airport. We stopped by the gas station near our house to get gas. I had a little moment with X., reiterating again that I will be missing him, and that I will be back after 3 nights. He knew what I meant, and wanted me to hold on to his two favorite cars.
All morning, he was a little cranky, but all the time wanting me to hold him. And, he spend a great deal of time trying to figure out how to help me with the luggage, especially to drag it.
He fell asleep on the hour-long drive to the airport, waking up for a split second when we arrived. But, he dozed off again, and I gave him a little peck on his nose while he slept.
I’m always edgy when I travel. I always pray for a safe trip so I can come home, to be with those I love. I pray for a safe trip, and so I can see my little Xuanie again soon, and that he can have Mama with him again soon.
Puss.
