A few weeks ago, my son walked into my house and gave me the biggest hug I've ever gotten since he was a little kid, and he didn't let go for quite a while. He told me, "I missed you." I knew what was really behind those words and that hug. He knew I had been struggling. He knew he was unhappy because of it, and now he had me "back". Then on the phone the other day, he said, "I think you are amazing. You've always made us feel loved. You have always provided for us even when it was hard. It was the lack of stability that was killing me." Of course it made me feel like crying, and I did, but I FELT "back" and what a feeling THAT was
