When Michael had his very first business trip, Nora was 2 months old. This would be the first time that Michael and I would not see each other at least once a day since we started dating. I was a wreck. I cried hourly. I didn't have a cell phone back then, so it made it even worse on me.
Since then he has been on various business trips. Each business trip was hard on me. I usually would try my hardest to hold myself together....but I would always end up calling his phone while he was in flight and leave a message while blubbering.
This morning Michael left for a three day business trip. Surprisingly, I was very calm and very much okay with it. It has been a whole day now without one tear. I am proud of myself. I feel I am growing up in a sense. Yes, I still miss Michael and wish he were here, but I am more confident in myself and I don't feel I need to depend on him for everything, all the time.
p.s. the picture is of a door mat that I would LOVE to purchase. I find it very amusing :)
