I’ve had my first bit of separation anxiety this summer.
We had two family events on the same weekend in July; one wedding and one family reunion. We decided that I would stay in Aberdeen and attend the wedding for my family and Chuck would take our sixteen month old daughter to Minnesota for the family reunion.
As I drove away from the house, the tears were welling up. It took all I had to make it down the driveway before totally losing it. Without a tissue or napkin to be found in my car, I resorted to blowing my nose and soaking up tears in a diaper that I keep in my purse for emergencies. (And I would certainly call this an emergency.)
Totally understand, Carrie. I cried on my way to training last week, on my way out of town for the weekend earlier this month…pretty much any time I leave him. And side note, diapers also work well for soaking up ice cream spilled in a car seat!
