Tomorrow I am going away SANS kids to visit my family. All of my sisters and my mom are getting together to go to Women's Conference in Seattle. I am very excited to go- and I very much look forward to flying on an airplane without coloring books and fishy crackers. And poopy diapers and tantrumy kids. And read a book. Alone. Uninteruppted.
Did I mention I was excited about this trip?
Anyway, I told the girls that I was leaving in the morning and Audra burst into tears.
Me: Audra, I'm sorry that you are so sad. Why are you so sad?
Audra: Because I know how it feels when you go.
My heart rips open, even though she really doesn't know how it feels when I go- it's not like I leave her very often.
Audra: Do you know how I know how it feels?
Me: No, how does it feel?
Audra: Like I'm melting. My heart melts inside me.
Oy. Maybe I should cancel the trip.
