Loving each other the way you do things should be fine School isn't forever and when he returns things can go back to being normal Until then start putting together a Yule gift for him in a parcel so that with each one he opens reminds him of how much you love him and how dear he is to you

Yule gifts are practical but loving homemade fruit pies sweets drunken fruit eggnog outrageous underwear for fun all the little things you know he does without because he is away from home and missing you and his family

Speak to his mother to find out the things he likes or liked as a boy you may add some of those things to the Yule basket too there is much to keep you busy and to help you to enjoy putting together this loving gift
