Thanks everybody! And Perna, I love the idea of the candy countdown. I definitely need to eat more candy. I think I will start a countdown like that.

I probably should call him occasionally when I miss him, but I did tell him right before he left that I always miss him when he's away. I'm glad I said that.

And yeah, just knowing he's gone seems to practically cause things to go wrong. I hate it!

It definitely helps that I can complain on here and find sympathetic ears.

Thanks,
Sidony
